7.5/10
The recently-named best film of all time according to S&S' directors' poll, I had a feeling it wouldn't leave the same impression on me and I was right. As much as I enjoy and respect the Ozu movies I've seen, they don't thrill me enough to consider them best-evers. Compared to the other, simpler films I saw, this one was practically action-packed. It certainly has the most meat. It touches on all kinds of themes but central is the alienation of the elderly couple, and the generational divides that separate them, their children, and their children's children.
