7/10
Ozu's last film and the last one of my little Ozu season, this one was by far the most scattershot of the five. Maybe Ozu knew it was going to be his last and wanted to get as much in there as possible? I don't know. I enjoyed the central thrust - the five friends and their relationship with their aging, on-hard-times professor. Again, single women and marriage play a part, but the war actually plays a surprisingly large role...to a distracting end, almost. Probably my least favorite of the five, but not by much.
