Yasujiro Ozu always managed to tell compelling and universal tales which is no different in this slice of life film. The story of a family at the crossroads between the past and the future. A widowed father rekindles an old romance despite his family's wishes while he hopes that his two adult daughters get settled before his death. The two daughters facing the choices of marrying for love or the tradition. The elder one is widowed and with a son but feels pressured by her family to remarry while the younger is expected to marry for the sake of the family instead the one she loves. The cast and crew deliver as usual in another classic Ozu film. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
