Imposing Japanese drama.

Another nip study of old age and one of their best.

Nakadai, first seen angrily rejecting the help of his teenage grand daughter, sets off from their local rail station to see if any of his siblings will make him a home. At each meeting, more of the family back story is added in. The pair end as endearing, rounded characters and this one gives a more detailed picture of Japanese society than you'll find in most productions. The films of Ozu are creaky by comparison.

Excellent, unobtrusive craftsmanship tells the story mainly in close two shots, which throws the emphasis on the the performers.They are more than equal to the challenge.

And this is the star who used to lose his big sword fights to Mifune!
