Possibly more schematic and less complex/nuanced than many

Possibly more schematic and less complex/nuanced than many later Ozu films (or even his 1949 masterwork Late Spring), but we still see him treating his usual themes (tradition vs. modernity, primarily). Apparently, this was a work for hire and Ozu had less control than usual over casting and script. Hideko Takamine and Kinuyo Tanaka play the sisters, younger and older, respectively, who experience a few more melodramatic (some say Sirkian) plot twists while trying to keep afloat in postwar Japan. Chishu Ryu (an Ozu regular) plays the dad dying of cancer and So Yamamura is a real jerk as Tanaka's out-of-work husband. As in Ozu's other shomin-geki films, family and close relationships (with the possibility of romance/marriage) really drive the plot. Enjoyable (especially the wacky performance from Takamine) but not Ozu's best.

Worthwhile Ozu drama, although I didn't care for the ending very much.

Li que este é o único filme do Ozu a ser adaptado de um romance. A simplicidade do roteiro contrasta com o que vai no interior das personagens. Gostei bastante.
