The End of Summer

Could have been his best, but somehow it doesn't feel fully-formed to me. I would have enjoyed an extra 20 minutes or so. I think there was more emotional content to mine out of this story that, unlike other films, he didn't fully draw out. I am a bit torn though, as some of the implied content and the simplicity is enjoyable for its briefness. The ending is amplified greatly by Ozu's death the following year.
