Adapted from the novel of the same name, the film describes the conflicts between father and daughter due to marriage and love, and continues the warm and delicate style of director Yasujiro Ozu . Most of the scenes in the film take place indoors, and they depict such uncommon things as reminiscences between old friends and disputes between fathers and daughters. However, Director Ozu expressed these scenes that can be seen everywhere in life in a meticulous and beautiful way, which makes people feel a kind of atmosphere, and at the same time realize the deep emotion behind them.
This is a masterpiece that reflects modern family conflicts and family bonds in a gentle and beautiful way. The film took the third place in the annual top ten works list of the 1958 Film Journal. —— It seems that Director Ozu is very good at using low-angle photography like sitting on a tatami to tell the trivial life in a Japanese family, and he mostly uses kind-hearted elderly people as the perspective characters, while family conflicts are mostly in a restrained rhythm and gradually become calm .
