Classic Film and Television
A rich social tapestry that also explores attitudes to family life and the lasting emotional impact left by a loved one's departure...

Rating: 4/5 --
Yasujiro Ozu's final film, re-released in a restored version, is a stately, slow-burning but very moving family drama.

Independent (UK)
The fatal bargain of old age has rarely been observed as sharply as in Yasujiro Ozu's last film, from 1962.

Rating: 5/5 --
Mellow and rich in ironic humour, the film carries an undertow of gentle melancholy; as so often with Ozu, its ultimate message is that loneliness is the human condition.

It is a film in a superbly composed minor key.

Rating: 5/5 --
Yasujiro Ozu didn't know that this unbearably poignant 1962 drama would be his final film. But An Autumn Afternoon is as fitting a swansong as ever there was.

Product Description:
In his final film Yasujiro Ozu returns to the story of a widowed father giving up his favorite daughter in marriage, only to be left alone. The setting is the industrialized Japan of the 1960s, with small but intense traces of traditional Japanese culture and morals present in each of the characters and their struggles. The melancholy of the widowed father as he drinks away his sorrows at a favorite bar is portrayed in a sweet and gentle treatment, and the aesthetic beauty of the film's heightened color and peaceful pacing make this one of Ozu's most beautiful and touching films.
