I strongly admired that Lucy and Bark were not portrayed as perfect - you could very much sympathise with Anita trying to do her Bridge class (so much that she would - I think- be justified in asking Lucy to stay in her room whilst the lesson was on). Poor Rhoda, having to share a room with Gran - not just 'for now' but for am indefinate time. So your sympathy swung from one to the other all through the film, with only really Cora coming over as being 'wrong' (most notably in her awful treatment of her fathers elderly, inteligent German-Jewish Newsagent friend.)(I wish I knew that guy and could go and sit by his stove and discuss the news each day) <br />A good film, delighted to have seen it at last.<br />However - sorry wcurry- I prefered Tokyo story which (In my opinion) firmly stayed the right side of that line all the way through. This one predates Tokyo Story by about 10 years, but other Ozu films predate it. If you enjoyed this film, I strongly recomend trying almost anything by Ozu - simular slow (said as a compliment)paced study of family, especialy inter-generational - realationships. TS being the one that explores the 'problem' of bothersome elderly parents V ungrateful/selfish youngsters who forget that they too will get old.<br />By the way, just what did Rhoda get up to that night? Something bad enough that the poloce were involved, but not serious enough that she herself was likely to be named?<br />RayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031921900753703734.post-48278872359973585512011-02-16T16:16:21.781-05:002011-02-16T16:16:21.781-05:00This is at LAST getting a release in the Uk in the...This is at LAST getting a release in the Uk in the next month..

It kinda reminded me of Dodsworth, both are dramas that feel unusually realistic in terms of characters & dialogue, esp for a 1930s Hollywood film. I'm surprised it was even made. There are similarities to Toyko Story, a much more celebrated film, but I think I prefer this.wcurryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09957900105518327695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031921900753703734.post-37579583739820081932010-02-19T14:03:46.798-05:002010-02-19T14:03:46.798-05:00Well then I'll just reply here, and thanks for...Well then I'll just reply here, and thanks for letting me know. I'm not crazy about watching on YouTube either, but if it's the only way I can see something, I'll make an exception.
