The Flavour of Green Tea over Rice

Japan Yasujiro Ozu

From 1951, this is the story of a discontented wife of an arranged marriage who sees her husband as boring and ignorant, leaves to take on a lover but returns home recognizing the value in her husband's steadfastness and reliability.

This used all the characteristic touches that make his work so recognizable but the sarcasm, anger and discontent were harsher than in his later films.

A solid effort.
