    Four and a half stars. At the end of the film, Akiko's choice of unwilling to remarry, played by Setsuko Hara, is a fresh choice for Ozu's mad patriarchal and paranoid face. The three old men are at the mercy of the wishful thinking of marrying a young woman and her beautiful daughter. They are full of the stench and selfishness of men's possessiveness. Those episodes of being complained about by their wives, daughters, and strange girls seem funny. But it's downright sarcastic. If Ozu can be...

    Too radical aesthetes, even bigger than Hitchcock. Force the characters to be framed in Mondrian-style lines (perhaps because the geometry has been canceled, the front and back shots are shallow depth of field). For Ozu, the emphasis on the sense of order is as important as breathing, but the visual order is almost suffocating, and time only continues to flow when the next shot arrives, and he is probably the most Deleuze-like author. Movement and immobility, the two sides of the blade. A...

    My favorite Ozu so far, Setsuko Hara seems to have some problems after eye...

    [Exhibition at the China Film Archive] Restored version. The team is still the same "The Flower of the Other Side", the actors who form a family, the men who judge women's marriages, and the "Wakamatsu" and "LUNA". The father-daughter relationship in "Late Spring" is replaced by mother-daughter here (the ending is also the same), and the male voice still gradually loses its status. The "three middle-aged straight men" teamed up to help each other and teased and ridiculed each other. After all...

    A middle-aged man has a thief heart but not a thief, and sister Setsuko is getting old... I'm really tired after watching three married...

    The old man trio continued from "The Flower of the Other Side" and the lively Okada Jasmine contributed excellent comedy effects, but it did not hinder her daughter's marriage. It is better than the loneliness and sadness of "Late Spring" with the jacket folded. Compared with Fujiko Yamamoto in "The Flower of the Other Side", Jasmine Okada has a more important meaning in the play. Ozu said on his own that what he wanted to convey in "Autumn Harmony" was: "In this world, even if it is extremely...

    Delicate and warm, sad but not sad. When I get old, will I have a drink with a few old friends, quietly reminiscing or laughing at...

    Although it is a remake of late spring, you can still see the intention of every picture. The mother-daughter relationship was originally simple and pure, but it was shocked by the world of men outside. The mother's remarriage seems to be tied to a rope between Ben and her daughter. But in the end, both of them followed their inner choices. There is no reluctance, but obedience to nature is indeed the beauty of modern interpersonal...

    Yasujiro Ozu Film Festival - Autumn and Harmony (1960·Color)

    Taguchi, Hirayama, Mamiya, three old classmates and old friends participated in the sixth anniversary of the deceased friend's early death. Seeing the beautiful daughter who has grown up and the elegant mother who is still in style, everyone sighed and worried about the marriage of the friend's...

    Autumn and Harmony--A Small Perspective on Private Records

    1. Online Tucao translation...

    Some translations are really annoying as hell. A good translator should hide himself in the work instead of showing off his skills. Watching "Autumn Harmony" yesterday, Miyama said: "おっかさんもいいおっかさんらしい. Jun もなかなかいい子だよ." Translation: Mother is a good mother. Daughter is...

Late Autumn quotes

  • Fumiko: If Ayako gets married, Akiko will be left all alone.

    Soichi Mamiya: She'll get by somehow. She'll have no choice.

    Fumiko: Is Akiko as beautiful as ever?

    Soichi Mamiya: Yes, very beautiful. But I like Ayako more. She's so pure.

    Fumiko: Oh, really?

  • Sakae Kuwata: She ought to marry. The men get worse the longer you wait. I married late - but I still did okay.
