Several of Ozu Yasujiro's films took place in "North Kamakura". After checking online, it turns out that North Kamakura is Ozu's former residence, which shows the extraordinary significance of this place to him. The whole film revolves around Noriko's marriage. The story of this family of seven and three generations is told through Ozu's lens, just like tasting a pot of light fragrant tea. Ozu's camera always uses many details of life to slowly promote the development of the plot. The most impressive is the gathering of four close friends in the boudoir. The married and the unmarried are naturally divided into two groups. The married sit on the side. , The unmarried sit on the other side, and the two sides are tit for tat, the married said that the unmarried did not understand what happiness is, and the unmarried countered that the married quarrelled every day and had no freedom. Ozu's films are always composed of some trivial things in life, and to experience happiness from these small and trivial things, watching Ozu's films is really a pleasure.
