Far behind Ozu's other films, 10 September 1999
7/10
Author: Martin Riexinger from Freiburg, Germany

This film is a little bit disappointing. Ozu did not portrait human emotions as intensive as in "Tokyo Monogatari". Neither has the film the wit and humour of "Ohayo". He did not succeed to characterize the person as good as in other films. The setting of the action in Kyoto instead of Tokyo could have provided the possibility to represent the contrast the conflict between old Japan and "New Japan" in a more distinct way. But unfortunately Ozu produces some cliches. But after all what is a "bad" movie by Ozu in comparison to all the other stuff.
