Review of An Autumn Afternoon (1962) by Jonathan M — 04 May 2009
Although typical in its focus on generational difference in contemporary Japanese society, Ozu's stylized representation of the postwar Japan in all its gadgets, American imports and so forth is compelling.
The characters oddly feel like real people moving through manufactured character types and they avoid coming to a totally saccharine conclusion, the young can move on, but the old only so far.
