(aka "Akibiyori" or "Late Autumn")

Japan 1960

The lightest variant on Ozu's favourite theme. Instead of a father/daughter relationship, it focuses on a widow and the daughter who finds finds even the thought of her mother's remarriage offensive. There are new touches here: the comic chorus of old rogues trying to sort out both women's future and Mariko Okada as the 'modern miss' who cuts through tradition to ensure a happy ending. She's proof that not all Ozu's characters are meek and passive.

Comments:	NOTE: ADDITION: WE have been scrutinizing the DVD and the sub titles are quite weak. It appears they were much better done on the old VHS tape. "LATE AUTUMN is the first Ozu DVD of the centenary year with English subtitles (beating Criterion's TOKYO STORY by four days!). This is licensed directly from Shochiku and utilizes their superb new prints. There's hardly one instance of print damage, and the film has probably never looked as good since its Japanese theatrical debut in 1961. Like the recent Shochiku Japanese DVDs (released in September 2003, with no English subtitles) this Panorama DVD is also "tape-sourced" (ie. unlike most Criterion discs (for example) there is combing in forced weave mode of my computer DVD player). This may be an issue for some people and should be noted (all Panorama's discs are like this.)" *Nick Wrigley of Masters of Cinema*
