さすがクライテリオン
Reviewed in Japan on 14 May 2017Verified Purchase
簡素なパッケージの中にディスクとリーフレット(4色カラー)が入っている。
映像の美しさはさすがクライテリオンと言わざるを得ない。
字幕は英語のみ(ON/OFF可能)。
コメンタリーや映像特典が英語なので日本語字幕が欲しい(コレは自分のわがままである)。
トップメニュー画面は非常にスタイリッシュで、小津作品へのリスペクト精神を感じる。
映画の内容について語るのは「今更…」という感があるが、娘を嫁にやる父親を描くこの映画の感動は現代においても薄れてはいない。

This was not meant to be the last...
Reviewed in the United States on 7 April 2009Verified Purchase
But in the end this IS the last work of Yasujiro Ozu's life. I can't say it is a surprise or fresh because he uses the same actors and actresses he loves. And the plot of a dad trying to get his daughter married off and happy is also recycled - if you are reading this you know this. While in other films of this type the father in the end seems to be OK with what he did in this one the father seems to be lonely and sad that he has lost one of his children, even when he still has a son at home. It is the same - with a twist.
Being able to see a movie drama from Japan in color was amazing in itself - the ruins, the play of red and white, the angle of the camera allowing us to almost look up at the characters and down the layered settings, with the foreground and background and everything in between seeming to jump out at you. The reunion of old friends, the TV set, the fridge, the vacuum cleaner, the tiny plots that twist around the main plot, and the baseball game show the change in Japan in the post-war years. But the old traditions and ways of the family still hung on. It makes such a great mixture of new, old and, sometimes, lovely themes that pop out at you. Get it new or used.

My Favorite Ozu Film!
Reviewed in the United States on 8 March 2023Verified Purchase
Love this one!
Can watch again and again!
There aren’t that many features on this just an audio commentary which is good and a short interview.
If going in solely for Ozu related features I would go with Tokyo Story.
Would recommend for fans of the film or Ozu, he has a unique style.

Cinematic perfection
Reviewed in the United States on 4 November 2012Verified Purchase
Ozu is, in my opinion, Japan's greatest filmmaker, despite the fruitful fame of Kurosawa. And one is hard pressed to name his second best film, after the masterpiece "Tokyo Story". It could be "Early Summer", "Late Spring", or this structurally perfect film: An Autumn Afternoon.
There are several levels of the zenith of the cinematic arts represented here. First of all the visual aspect featuring amazing uses of the color red and his consummate organization of each scene in terms of blocking and actor movement through the assigned spaces. But even more so, the craft of his asking his actors not to "act" creates the most gorgeous and moving poignancy of any movie I know of. So here one finds perfection of both structure and substance.
It is another Ozu masterpiece. Highly recommended.

Classic Ozu
Reviewed in the United States on 12 April 2014Verified Purchase
There are three or four Ozu films that everyone should see, and there are ten others you ought to see. This is in the first category. Get it, find it, buy it, borrow it, see it. The usual Criterion transfer -- flawless, authoritative -- and wrapped around with commentary. If you have an interest in well made films from other countries Ozu is one of the best, up there with Jean Renoir, Powell and Pressburger, Fritz Lang, and others. Look for his still camera and his tiny, Austenian subjects. His films are never operatic, always focused on people, closely observed, but there is something about the stillness of the camera that requests a reserved involvement from us that makes the films unique, and uniquely moving stories about the passage of time itself through families and relationships.
