Review of Equinox Flower

The story isn't too sad or devastating like some of his movies before "Higanbana," but Ozu's first color movie was more of an exercise in the color world and its use in his movies. It's not obvious that this is his first color, because it's being used so well and very meticulously. So is it worth the story? Yes, it's one of Ozu's best movies, although it addresses the age-old story about family life and the father's feeling in his family a bit of an outsider. Sounds familiar, but worth the time, with so many other Ozu titles.
