An Autumn Afternoon
(1962)
Directed by Yasujiro
Ozu this film stars Chishu Ryu, Shima Iwashita, Keiji Sada and Mariko
Okada. A widower is convinced by his friends that it is time to help
his daughter find a husband.
I enjoyed Tokyo Story
(1953) and this is another dialogue heavy, slow moving drama by the same director
but I found it to be less enjoyable. The milieu of the Japanese
social structure of the period when it comes to marriage is not
exactly universal so at times I found it hard to connect with the
story. Ozu is famous for his style of direction which is present here
but is not really always to my taste.
3/5
