Unforgettable sophistication and elegance - Si Ye Zi

I watched this Ozu color film quietly at 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, which is perfect and exquisite!
"Autumn of the Xiaobayakawa Family" is much more engaging than "Autumn Harmony". Emotional expression is contained but not revealed to the point, and even death is so calm and calm. The language of the shots does not have to be the usual Ozu characteristics. From the characters, costumes, props, scenes, and the soundtracks are all simple and beautiful, but with a touch of sadness. Especially the quiet and simple beauty decorated by Shi Ye is shocking... .
Thank you Ozu for leading us into the era of pure beauty that has gone away, gradually blurred, clean and fresh, and the sky is high!

    Akiko: He must have been famished.

    Noriko, second daughter: I suppose. After the dinner at the hotel, we were walking through Nakanoshima.

    Akiko: You two were alone?

    Noriko, second daughter: Yes, everyone insisted.

    Akiko: I see. What happened.

    Noriko, second daughter: He asked me if I disliked Western cuisine. So, I said, "What about you?" And after all that food, he said he isn't too fond of it! Such a peculiar man!
