If you do not know this film, see it as soon as possible. If you are already an Ozu fan, you either know or will find out, this is as great as his work ever gets. This is quite simply, a deeply moving and poignant family drama that is one of the great works of world cinema. Splendid music and with Criterion, the best transfer possible. One can return to this movie many times over the course of a lifetime and find new rewards with each viewing. For the open viewer, it will provide a quietly overpowering experience.
