Equinox Flower

One of Ozu's least dark comedies, which is not to say that it's carefree, but, rather, that it's gentle and amused in the way that it acknowledges time's passage, the changing of values and the adjustments that must be made between generations.

This 1958 film by Yasujiro Ozu (his first in color) is gentle, spare, and ultimately elusive, in a quietly satisfying way.

This is warm, amusing, and socially insightful commentary from Japan’s best-ever filmmaker.

Cheerful but powerful film about a woman who wants to choose her spouse despite family objection.

Yasujiro Ozu's first film in color is his usual engaging family drama.
