Curiosidades
A Moxa treatment refers to the burning of an herb called moxa (aka mugwort) on, or directly above, the skin. Recipients of the treatment generally didn't like the burning sensation on their skin, although this was supposed to enhance circulation and lymphatic flow. Also, the scent of moxa is believed to have a soothing, relaxing effect, which would have been important to counteract the skin irritation.

Citas
Kihachi: What did you plan to do with my son?
Otaka: Who cares about your son? He's cheap, like you, playing around with actresses.
[Kihachi beats Otaka]
Otaka: Are you sorry? I hope you'll be very sorry. The world is like a lottery. You take your ups and your downs. Let's make up please. That makes us even, you see. Just think how I feel.

Créditos adicionales
The film title and credits are placed before a backdrop of plain sackcloth. This would become a trademark of Yasujirô Ozu films.

Acting up

This is one of the earliest Ozu films widely available, and the Criterion version is outstanding in quality.

Its a perfect example of Ozu at his best. Its a gem of a film - beautifully shot, a perfect structure, funny, sad and fascinating. The story is simple enough - a traveling troupe arrive at a town, not realizing the reason the chief actor picked the town is because an old flame of his lives here with his son. His current girlfriend in her jealousy tries to stir things up, but things don't turn out as either expect.

What is most striking about the film is just how modern it seems. The characters are believable and funny, the female characters are strong and willful, while even the minor characters are nicely sketched out. The acting is nothing short of brilliant, which makes the whole film very entertaining - this is no period piece of academic interest only, its a great work of art and a wonderful film - a masterpiece really.
