Entertainment Reviews:
If you've seen one Ozu film, you probably have the drift of his austere, quiet style, and you don't need my recommendation. If you haven't, take a chance.

Ozu's films fill me with such a profound sense of serenity and emotional richness that it makes me wonder why people rent or buy anyone else's movies.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
in keeping with the shift in seasons, there is a comic lightness to the proceedings - even if, as the film draws towards its conclusion, we become increasingly aware of autumn's chilly approach.

Product Description:
In this charming, accessible Yasujiro Ozu drama comprised of several episodic stories, Noriko, a young Japanese woman accustomed to a sense of independence is bullied into a family-arranged marriage, revealing an astute study of generational and cultural conflicts. The juxtapositions between traditional Japanese societal roles and the encroaching popularity of western influenced modes of behavior are personified by the daughter and her struggle within her family.
