Roger Ebert

Ozu is one of the greatest artists to ever make a film. This was his last one. Read full review

Eric Henderson

The progression of Ozu’s style seems to parallel that of Jacques Tati, who moved from the mutable likes of M. Hulot’s Holiday into the glass-cut inflexibility of Playtime. Read full review

Vincent Canby
