Sanma no aji (An Autumn Afternoon) (1962)

Director:  Yasujiro Ozu
Writers:    Kogo Noda, Yasujiro Ozu
Language: Japanese
This is the final film from Ozu before is death in 1963. The film is about an aging widower who is arranging the marriage of his only daughter. Its a good film but the acting in the film is below par. Compared to other Japanese films from these period I have found the acting in general in Ozu films to be less natural. Nevertheless the film is good with things shown in a subtle way like usually in an Ozu film.

Rating: 3/5
