Although the film is only 100 and a few minutes long, it is a bit sluggish in some parts. Although Ozu's films have always been known for their long takes and slow plots, this one is still slightly A bit over the top. And the soundtrack of the funeral at the end is very strange, coupled with the crow in the shot, it has a suspenseful and terrifying taste.

"In my opinion, she is not an exaggerated expression, but the type that naturally expresses strong emotions with subtle movements. In other words, she can show extreme anger even without shouting. A performance like Setsuko Hara Can easily show delicate feelings. On the contrary, there are some actors who are known as "drama elites", and I have to explain them one by one, which is really troublesome." Yasujiro Ozu...
