A widowed teacher and his son remain apart for years.
Sinekatalog’s take
Yasujiro Ozu's wartime drama follows a widowed teacher and his son, who live apart for years out of duty. Chishu Ryu is quietly moving in a restrained, tender study of sacrifice that avoids propaganda.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
