Movie description:
This early great work from The Master is a sobering melodrama honed squarely on a single unemployed, homeless father struggling to feed and shelter his two sons. Ozu does a fine job capturing the dynamic between the two boys by themselves and with their father, but the film really gets interesting when two women enter the story: a young single mother, also homeless, and an old friend who finds the father a job. The maudlin climax seems to anticipate Ford’s GRAPES OF WRATH and DeSican melodrama – though in the wrong ways – but prior to that Ozu comes up with an quirky expressionist sequence to reflect the father’s unraveling moral state.
