Following his 1953's "Tokyo Story" Ozu continued in "Early Spring" his observation and examination of the family theme by looking at the issues that generates from the switch between personal and professional obligations. With his cinematography from the first to the last frame Ozu focuses on small details such as the daily routines to display the tensions the main character endure between his home and the office. And ends it as always with an optimistic conclusion. A fine film by Yasujiro.
