Late Autumn review
The thing with watching so many Ozu films is that you get to the point that you know what to expect and you treat it is a little mouth refresher in between the heavier courses at a posh restaurant. Again we have a slice of post-war Japanese life where there is probably the genuine problem of a aging single mother whose daughter is reluctant to marry and leave her alone. her brother and his friends try to come up with a suitor for the mother so that the daughter will then marry (and therefore aid society would be the subtext). The palette of muted colours used in the photography is superb and provides a gentle backdrop to the story, it felt like an early episode of Last of the Summer Wine before all of the slapstick was added. If you are not a fan then avoid, if you are then there are enough variations to many of his other similar tales to make it worth seeing.
