Hou Hsiao-Hsien's homage to Yasujiro Ozu is filled

Hou Hsiao-Hsien's homage to Yasujiro Ozu is filled with beautiful quiet moments. The intense connection made by the two main characters is established in unique ways. A brilliant film.

I was lucky enough to be able to

I was lucky enough to be able to see one of Hou's films at the special screening 'The Films of Hsiao-hsien Hou' at AFI Silver Spring. This particular piece is a tribute to Ozu, who was known as a master of capturing and transferring 'everyday-domestic' life into captivating movies. For the storyline Hou uses Ozu's trademark inter generation conflict with careful observation on how different generation reacts to the issue. However, Hou has his own marks all over this film including how he evokes sympathy, humanity of the characters through use of gestures with minimal dialogue.
