Review of Late Spring (1949) by Alex M — 29 Jun 2007
Beautifully photographed film about the pain of transitioning from daughter to wife and from father to widower. Ozu subtly develops Buddhist themes of contentment and internal peace. The slow pace requires some adjustment, but by the second half of the film you should be completely absorbed by the characters' dilemma.
If you are at all interested in Japanese culture, especially after World War II, this would be a safe bet.
