    Although the film is only 100 and a few minutes long, it is a bit sluggish in some parts. Although Ozu's films have always been known for their long takes and slow plots, this one is still slightly A bit over the top. And the soundtrack of the funeral at the end is very strange, coupled with the crow in the shot, it has a suspenseful and terrifying taste. This should not be the emotion that Ozu wants to express,...

    Ozu's films are always worth playing slowly, the most mundane trivial, so light that it seems worthless. But it is always after the ups and downs that we find that life will be nostalgic for us, and that is...

    The composition and color are seemingly casual, but they are very ingenious. The picture is very beautiful, and you can imagine how good it looks on the big screen. Although it ends with death, the trivial matters of everyone in the family are not settled, but like many other Ozu films, it gives people a sense of yearning for life and gratitude for...

    The relationship between the characters is a bit messy, and there are a lot of branch lines, but it is obvious that Ozu's color films are familiar. The last 30 minutes were excellent, the soy sauce fight between Kasato and Yuko Mochizuki really ruined the...

    After every four weddings, Ozu will go to a funeral. This time it was the turn of the owner of the brewery, Manbee. Nakamura Yanjiro's role, regardless of Ukusa or Kobayakawa, belongs to the absolute opposite of Kasa Zhizhong, the value benchmark of Ozu. Even compared with the uncles of drinking friends who made fun of the proprietress, he has one more color. Master Yu, either died in Huangquan, or the troupe broke up, was deprived of a happy ending by Ozu - of course, the process of...

    Too complicated, too many things to express, not Ozu's typical...

    "In my opinion, she is not an exaggerated expression, but the type that naturally expresses strong emotions with subtle movements. In other words, she can show extreme anger even without shouting. A performance like Setsuko Hara Can easily show delicate feelings. On the contrary, there are some actors who are known as "drama elites", and I have to explain them one by one, which is really troublesome." Yasujiro Ozu...

    Yasujiro Ozu Film Festival - The Autumn of the Kobayakawa Family (1961·Color)

    It's finally back to Ozu's color era. Perhaps in the era of black and white for too long, there are all kinds of helplessness, pain, and sorrow in the world as far as the eye can see. Instead, the colored world became peaceful and peaceful, the sound of cicadas subsided and the sound of frogs rose....
