9. There are few Ozu movies with sports scenes, the road of forced marriage for older women. I like the ending of peeling the apple, only those who have experienced the loneliness and loneliness of a person...

When I first started, I was still thinking, how can the same theme surpass Qiu Rihe? After all, the structure can't be as delicate as it is. After reading it, I realized that in fact, sometimes such an arrangement is not needed. That kind of atmosphere and emotion may not be better conveyed because of the too compact plot. When I saw that flock of pigeons flying up on New Year's Eve, I had an indescribable feeling in my...

The 4K restoration image quality is excellent, and I watched the Blu-ray version in Hengshan Heji. Another story about marrying a girl, Hara Setsuko is so fat and beautiful. I especially like those empty shots, such as a few magazines sliding down from the stack of books, showing a sense of agility in a certain conformity. However, those family concepts are still traditional and there is no modernity at...

In each of them there is a unique expression of love in which care or care varies. The most impressive scene was when the father who returned from the tavern after marrying Noriko cut off most of the apples and couldn't continue. Another insight is about the essence of happiness. Setsuko Hara gives the character a cheerful and restrained temperament, which is really...

@SIFF2016 If you work so hard to marry a girl, you will be sprayed at the moment. Both the composition camera and the perspective serve the content, but the back shots when the characters are talking are really uncomfortable. Can such a breakthrough approach really bring out a bland but powerful theme? Anyway, I watched the camera all the way. The only thing I appreciate is that just one line advances the plot neatly, and it is determined not to use the picture, so refreshing! The voice this...

2.5 Change your mentality. Setsuko Hara's constant fake smile, unnatural dialogue rhythm, and a soundtrack full of movies, the weird rhythm formed by these illusions is quite impressive. It is suggested that other directors learn from Ozu how to slow down a movie after discarding the elements that make it white and...

I shed tears again in the paragraph about sending the daughter to marry. This plot is so similar to "The Taste of Saury", can it be said that Ozu has been filming the same story for 20 years? The same is the setting where the son-in-law/husband does not appear, I like it very much. Setsuko Hara is a big mouth girl! So pretty in a wedding dress! Sure enough, the clip that appeared in Hou Hsiao-hsien's "Good Boys and Good Girls" is this one, the paragraph of Noriko riding a bicycle. Hou's...

4K restoration, indeed, "Late Spring" and "Mai Qiu" should really be enjoyed together. It also happened in Kitakamakura, the same original cast, and it was also about the marriage problems of older, beautiful and young people. The late spring approach was more conservative. The story was clear, simple and straightforward, with a slightly sad tone. The traditional concept of marriage and love is not worth mentioning, and the deep bond between father and daughter ("Electra complex"?) is more like...

It is indeed the exact same routine as "Autumn Harmony". The aunt who found the wallet died of laughter. How good is Miwa's widow, Ozu-style "I am not against remarriage, but I am firmly against my protagonist's remarriage", hum. Yueqiu Menglu is cute, ah, it's my Baoji Hua...

Yasujiro Ozu Film Festival - Late Spring (1949, Black and White)
Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-hsien, who was deeply influenced by Ozu's timeless, long and silent camera language, once said: " My favorite is "Late Spring", which was filmed by Ozu when he was forty-six years old. The film is this "Late Spring". In terms of the name match, "Late Spring"... -

Ozu's first work in and out of the pit
Because I like Hirokazu Koreeda and Hou Hsiao-hsien, Ozu Yasujiro is destined to be someone who cannot be bypassed. Late Spring is my first work with Ozu, the same familiar narrative style of long shots, airscapes, scenes and limbs instead of lines, and calm and blank narrative style, but perhaps...

Jo Onodera: Which way is Tokyo?
Shukichi Somiya: Tokyo, that way.
Jo Onodera: So east is this direction?
Shukichi Somiya: No, that direction.
Jo Onodera: Has it always been that way?
Shukichi Somiya: Absolutely.

Noriko Somiya: So which type am I?
Shôichi Hattori: Let's see. I'd say you're not the jealous type.
Noriko Somiya: Oh, but I am.
Shôichi Hattori: You sure?
Noriko Somiya: As the saying goes, when I slice pickled radish, it comes out all strung together.
Shôichi Hattori: That's a matter of the relative interaction between you and the knife. There's no logical connection between pickled radish and jealousy, now is there?
Noriko Somiya: So you like pickles strung together?
Shôichi Hattori: At times I wouldn't mind them.
