Audience Member A post-war Japan film shot with a great heart - beautiful camera works and a family setting worth comparing with Orson Welles' "The Magnificent Ambersons". Yoshimura is a director worth rediscovering. Star Yoshimura ??? became Ozu's best cast. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Setsuko Hara's performance is superb.
