Leave your thoughts about Late Spring.
| eye WEEKLYJason AndersonWith no one looking but the camera, Hara's face registers anger, jealousy and humiliation, all in the space of a few seconds. |
| Boulder WeeklyThomas DelapaExquisite ... What little plot there is in Late Spring is adorned by Ozu's Zen-like meditation on objects, surroundings and the Japanese concept of mono no aware -- the ineffable resignation to the reality of life as things are. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonLate Spring is, along with Tokyo Story, Ozu's greatest work. |
| Movie MetropolisChristopher LongOzu trains his trademarked fixed camera on the deceptively simple story of a father and daughter and finds in it nothing short of the whole wide world. |
| Little White LiesAnton Bitelimpermanence... forms the film's true subject - and it is Ozu's ambivalence towards it, as though he wants both to board the train, and to stay on the platform, that ultimately gives Late Spring its bittersweet resonance. |
| Village VoiceMelissa Anderson"Movies resurrect the beautiful dead," Susan Sontag once wrote, and there's no better way to commemorate Hara than to watch her in Late Spring, a film in which she is heartbreakingly vibrant. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseLate Spring exemplifies Ozu's rich, mature style, an apparent stylelessness of patient, lifelike rhythms, unobtrusive camerawork, and credibly subtle performances. [DVD] |
| Q Network Film DeskJames KendrickOzu's camera is observational, rather than intrusive; even when we get something akin to a close-up, it never feels like it's invading the character's space. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrYasujiro Ozu's 1949 film inaugurated his majestic late period: it's here that he decisively renounces melodrama (and, indeed, most surface action of any kind) and lets his camera settle into the still, long-take contemplation. |
| Old School ReviewsJohn A. Nesbitwelcome respite from mindless, dispassionate cinema |
