Ozu: The Last Scene From His Last Movie


Chishu Ryu in the last scene from Ozu's last movie (Sanma no aji - An Autumn Afternoon): a widower who is realizing that his 24 old daughter should not remain for ever with him, so he arranges her marriage. You'd say, a remake after his masterpiece, Banshun (Late Spring): however, there is also a son in his last movie. Someone (zetes) who is not particularly a fun of Ozu says something touching, in Autumn Afternoon, everything is observed without judgment;it's about life, it's about Japanese culture, and it's about human beings.

(Yasujiro Ozu and Setsuko Hara)
