A beautiful & poignant film about a mother

A beautiful & poignant film about a mother who gives her all to make sure her son has a decent education & attempt at a successful future. Years go by & she decides to visit her son who is living on the out skirts of Tokyo & not as successful as her presented. The film is full of many beautiful scenes especially the scene between the mother & son seated by the long grass & industry in the background discussing the hopes dashed in their lives. This is a truthful film brought alive by Japanese director Yashiro Ozu that stays with you.

Ozu flawless directorial style is on full display

Ozu flawless directorial style is on full display here, as is his storytelling. There is the slow build-up to a dramatic crossroads that sometime does not pay off for the time invested, but often does. This is one that does.

Top class movie by a top class director

Top class movie by a top class director. First talkie by Ozu is one of my all time favorites. Probably this must be the best movie about mother-son relationships that I have seen. Emotions are overwhelming and the simplicity of Ozu is the key. You can see every trademark of directors later movies, picture is beautifully shot, performances are top class, plot and fable are still modern and problematic to this day.
