Review of Late Spring (1949) by Martin T — 22 Jul 2008
Pretty much on par with Early Summer, which it's awfully similar to. I listened to the commentary for a bit, and the guy was saying that within his limited scope, Ozu covers the whole of human experience.
Well, no, he doesn't. But he covers certain parts of it very, very well. For me, a lot of the appeal is Setsuko Hara. She's mostly the same character in every film I've seen her in, but she fills that niche perfectly.
She's also got one of the most disarming smiles I've ever seen.
