Review of Equinox Flower (1958) by John A — 25 Feb 2012
A lighter and more humorous touch from Ozu, though the action remains grounded in a serious familial dispute. The perspective here on aging and family dynamics is so refreshing, in large part because Ozu refuses to pass judgment on any of his main characters.
Instead, the film presents each of them with dignity, allowing the viewers to appreciate their common humanity. And, oh, that poetry recitation--so well-placed and so meaningful as the characters see more clearly beyond themselves.
