An Autumn Afternoon (1962) ****

Ozu's last film is among his most celebrated ones.

The End Of Summer (1961) ***

An aging family patriarch tries to enjoy life right to the very end, while two of his daughters hesitate whether to accept arranged marriages.

Late Autumn (1960) ****

Three not-so-wise old men try to play matchmakers with a widow and her daughter, with decidedly mixed results.

Floating Weeds (1959) ***

A typical Ozu's film. Talky, melancholic and beautiful. A remake of the same director's silent film from 1934.

Ohayo (1959) ***

A color and sound remake of "I Was Born But" (1932), by the same director, Yasujiro Ozu.

Equinox Flower (1958) ****

A family patriarch finds it hard to accept that his daughter refuses an arranged marriage, preferring to marry a man she chose herself.

Tokyo Twilight (1957) ***

Ozu's bleakest film, set in wintertime.

Early Spring (1956) ***

Ozu's drama about adultery.

Tokyo Story (1953) ****

An elderly couple visit their grown-up children in Tokyo. It's neither a comedy, nor a straight drama, but a bittersweet mixture of both. Probably Ozu's best film from the 1950's.

The Flavor Of Green Tea Over Rice (1952) ***

Complex film about a childless middle-aged couple and their headstrong niece who comes for a visit.

Early Summer (1951) ***

Quiet, understated film about a Japanese family.

The Munekata Sisters (1950) ***

Story of two sisters, one of them married to an alcoholic.

Late Spring (1949) ****

Wonderful film about a relationship between a father and his daughter.

A Hen In The Wind (1948) ***

A mother resorts to prostitution in order to pay for her son's hospital bill. One of the best "hahamono" melodramas directed by Yasujiro Ozu.

Record Of A Tenement Gentleman (1947) ****

Neorealist "hahamono" film by Yasujiro Ozu, deeply touching.

There Was A Father (1942) ***

Similar to "The Only Son" (1936).

Brothers And Sisters Of The Toda Family (1941) ****

What Did The Lady Forget (1937) ***

Ozu's second sound film.

The Only Son (1936) ***

Ozu's first sound film. A remarkable "hahamono" melodrama.

The Lion Dance (1936) ***

An exquisite kabuki performance.
