My second Ozu film and my favorite for now. The performances were much more natural compared to Late Spring. Late Spring had the actors have the same expression on their face even when they were going to sleep which made it distracting especially with the constant smiling. The music was also much better and subtle in this film. The film's stories are very similar with the marriage of a daughter effecting family life but instead of just a widower and a daughter, its a whole family. The film was subtle, beautiful, and gave me a warm feeling. I loved it and I'm looking forward to the next Ozu film on my queue Tokyo Story which closes this so-called "Noriko Trilogy" which contains Late Spring and this film.
**** out of ****.
