Late Autumn (1960) – Y. Ozu
A wistful and comic
tale of three bumbling old men who seek to arrange a marriage for the daughter
of a woman they once flirted with, now widowed. Ozu echoes his own Late Spring
by placing Setsuko Hara in the role of the widowed parent whose daughter
refuses to get married, a role reversal from the earlier film. As always with
Ozu, the action (which is to say, conversation) takes place in warm interiors
of muted greens and browns (with that one red object in each frame).
Comfortable as old shoes.
