Yasujiro Ozu's last film in black and white is also one of his darkest about a family devastated by secrets and lies. A single father worries about his two adult daughters who are unhappy despite his best efforts. As always there's superb performances by his regular actors, specially Setsuko Hara and Chishu Ryu. One thing Ozu knew more than others was that stories about families are timeless as they are universal and will be always relevant. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
