Another Kinema Jumpo first prize winner, this subtle film concerns the relationship between an illiterate brewery worker and his educated son. The plot focuses on the father’s unrequited interest in a younger woman and the effect this infatuation has on both father and son. An early example of Ozu’s masterful chronicling of the evolution of family ties.
