Review of Late Spring (1949) by Ian F — 26 Nov 2010
Having seen "Tokyo Story" and loving it, I was a little disappointed. While still following the Ozu style it was somewhat too similar but also not nearly as good. It was just fringing on being good. Perhaps if I had seen the two films swithced I might feel the other way but I doubt it. It might have also helped if I could have stayed awake!!!
On second viewing, this movie is tragic. Again I fell asleep for a brief moment but truthfully, this story is tragic and Ozu, Ryu and Hara at their best. It's great! Almost as good as "Tokyo Story"... almost!
