    It's not easy for Hara Setsuko to control the smile that seems over to most actresses. But the most beautiful thing is actually the helpless and faint resentment after the inner transformation.

    Sadly, my daughter is getting married

    First of all, I would like to compare Yasujiro Ozu and Yoshio Naruse, who both made the so-called "common people" movies. Westerners like Ozu more than Naruse. There are actually many reasons for this. One is that Ozu uses Many innovative film shooting methods. Second, Ozu showed the audience all...
