Yasujiro Ozu

An Autumn Afternoon is a gently heartbreaking story about a man’s dignified resignation to life’s shifting currents and society’s modernization. Though the widower Shuhei (Chishu Ryu) has been living comfortably for years with his grown daughter, a series of events leads him to accept and encourage her marriage and departure from their home. Elegantly composed and achingly tender, this last film by director Yasujiro Ozu is also his final masterpiece.

In Japanese with English subtitles.
