The fifty-fourth and final film of Yasujiro Ozu, in his most rigid and repetitive style. The theme, of father abandoned by daughter in marriage, has been done by Ozu with greater emotional impact. (Where? Was it in Early Spring? No artist outside of novelist Ivy Compton-Burnett gives the memory more difficulty in matching plot to title.) But no single scene anywhere in Ozu can surpass the sublime humor of the one here (isn't it here?) of the drunken military reminiscence in a public bar. With Chishu Ryu. (1962) — Duncan Shepherd
