Synopsis :
A middle-class couple experience a crisis in their arranged marriage and finally reconcile over a simple dish that's at once most ungarnished and most Japanese. This is one of Ozu's funniest and most "active" films, with frequently moving camera and numerous car rides, train journeys and planes taking off. Filmed from an old script written in 1940 after Ozu had returned from the war, the film is considered one of his best and most important works, but Ozu himself calls it "regrettably unsuccessful". The title of the film comes from a proverbial expression that celebrates simple taste in life. |
