Finally, I can feel the warmth that was lost when I watched Equinox Flower and Early Spring here, even though as the film progressed the warmth also disappeared.

The film opens with a windy opening that is soothing but still hot. The location is also a lot of feast for the eyes and I like that.

What triggers the conflict in this film is the friction between past and present relationships; It was only natural for Kamajuro to frequently visit his mistress, Oyoshi to see his now-adult son, Kiyoshi, who he had not seen for a long time. However, because of that his current partner, Sumiko who is also part of the theater led by Kamajuro, starts to get suspicious and when he finds out why Kamajuro always goes out of the natural theater, Sumiko is jealous, and the moment when Sumiko comes to Oyoshi's place becomes the moment where friction occurs and the fire starts. The fire that was already burning earlier began to simmer many emotional moments in this film.

In addition to the conflict between Kamajuro and Sumiko that got hotter, and for the first time during my time watching Ozu's films, I could see the romance in Ozu's film, shown in the relationship between Kiyoshi and Kayo, although it started out badly, but they looked cute when the two of them, but the relationship had an effect on Kiyoshi, who became blinded by a love that has a message to young people that is to forget about love for a moment, it's better to pursue your dream, make a lot of money from that job, then raise the life of your parents and your soul mate will definitely not going anywhere. That message is still relevant today.

I also like the acting of the cast which is really good in my opinion. Especially Ganjiro Nakamura and Machiko Kyo, they can put emotions into the bickering scene where they are placed in 2 opposite places and the rains act like a barrier and that was really really cool.

Overall, the film is satisfying, so far there has been no Ozu film that I put into the bad category, hopefully it's all good.
