Early Summer - 6/10
The thing with Ozu, his characters are the same, some even have the same names and characteristics, which not only becomes boring after a while, but my perception of them is pre-conceived subconsciously perhaps. But with the other handful of Ozu movies, they were all "together" - nothing disjointed, and I felt this was. When I read that Setsuko was actually going to be married I thought "I gotta see this" and of course, the man has a son (so she can keep her eternal virgin status for Ozu?), and she agrees with the mother in a very flippant (but friendly) way, happenstance. I might want to watch this again in a while, because I also started losing attention. I don't even remember them meeting.
