I love everything about Ozu movies, and that they don't differ all that much doesn't bother me. And I realize it's Japan in the Sixties and people may not be so open with their feelings. Still, to have one-third of the film all based on a misunderstanding that could be immediately cleared up by someone saying "No, that didn't happen!" ruins the picture for me. But I'm no doubt in the minority.
