Solid Ozu that can't compete with Tokyo story, but is still worth seeing. A film with a lot of dialogues and that is not always interesting to follow. Especially the beginning I found rather long-winded. Fortunately the theme is interesting and was sufficiently elaborated.
A film about arranged marriages and feminism. Taeko and Mokichi have been married for years, but there is not much love left in the marriage. Even quarrels are no longer there. Everything is resigned and indifferent. She even talks about him as a silly person to her friends. Respect is hard to find here.
They also have a marriage candidate in mind for the niece who is staying with them. Only she is free-spirited and wants to choose her own husband. It is mainly the uncle who gradually realizes that his own marriage is based on wrong customs. The film is somewhat gloomy and gives an excellent picture of Japan after the Second World War.

Ozu's women's film. Well, I've seen more than a dozen of his films, but rarely have there been so many women in them, and rarely have they been grouped together in larger groups. And certainly not in conversation. Typical Ozu, but normally with men.
Nevertheless, his film is less interesting in terms of content. The abundance of conversation (men and women) isn't always captivating. A shame, because the plot is quite different from what we usually get, though family drama remains central. Visually, it's otherwise excellent, with occasional highlights (for example, near the beginning when the camera pans forward towards the man and woman, and they disappear from view, continuing briefly, creating a certain tension as if something is about to happen, but it's still very enjoyable to watch). 3.0*
