| I found this the best entry point into the world of Ozu. Although, as usual, nothing much happens, the characters, situations, and conversations are interesting and entertaining. The main stars, Chishu Ryu and the stunning Setsuko Hara, build depth and grace into their characters, and the end of the film, when father and daughter finally part from each other, is one of the most honest and genuine sequences ever put on film. Watch especially for the moment when Hara, breathtakingly garbed in traditional wedding apparel, expresses gratitude to her father for the richness of their life together. Very moving. |
