Review of Late Spring (1949) by Mark S — 29 Nov 2011
The first film by Ozu that I've seen. I really liked the gentle world of the film, which is full of nice people who are considerate and care for each other's well being. The pace is very slow but it gives the audience time to get to know the lead characters and feel how their worlds are changing.
I found the self-sacrifice on display very moving and the tenderness of the writing, direction and performances makes the film memorable.
