      those who stay

      It was Hirokazu Kore-eda who confessed in the book "Things I Was Thinking When I Made a Movie" that "I prefer to focus on the people who stay rather than death." The same goes for this movie.

      "Autumn of Xiaobayakawa's House": Tofu has many flavors

      The autumn of life is rich in color. Although it is not as colorful as summer, it is better than it has connotations and presents a variety of tastes. And the mixture of various flavors seems to be the biggest feeling that Ozu's films bring to me. This film is Ozu's penultimate film.

When you are...

      The Kobayakawa family

      I fell in love with the pictures of Ozu's films more and more, like moving pictures. Ozu's pictures are either still lifes, or a few moving points are placed in the still lifes.

On the street, his father was in the middle. The two bicycles were walking towards each other. Even the scene of the most crowded...

      The character building and picture composition have become the classics of the film, and the storytelling has been deliberately weakened, so that the true meaning of life can be tasted more...

    Movie quotes

    • Akiko: What happened next?

      Noriko, second daughter: He saw that nobody was around, so he grabbed my hand and squeezed it.

      Akiko: And what did you do?

      Noriko, second daughter: I squeezed it back.

      Akiko: And then?

      Noriko, second daughter: He said that my hand was cold and wouldn't let go. His hand was warm. But when we were near other people, he would try to let go in a hurry. So I wouldn't let go of his hand on purpose.

      Akiko: And then?

    • Masao, third son: You throw like a girl, Grandpa!

    • Akiko: It's hard to beat big companies.
