Review of Late Spring (2014) by John A — 20 Apr 2012
One of the most perfect films ever put together. Every shot works so well. The transitional shots bring Ozu's trademark rhythm to the film, while mainstays Ryu and Hara simply shine in their performances.
The simplicity, care, and gentleness of the father/daughter relationship are strikingly beautiful, while the final sequences with the bride in her gown and the father returning home are simply heartbreaking.
And yet, Ozu somehow manages to make everything appear as it should be. Magnificent.
