An Autumn Afternoon (1962)

Yasujirō Ozu’s final film – about a widower (Chishu Ryu) keen to marry off his daughter, who’s reluctant to leave him living alone – is one of his most moving, notwithstanding the wry humour in scenes featuring the protagonist’s friends. Especially remarkable is the exquisitely subtle palette; interiors, costumes and props together produce a becalmed muted beauty, enhanced by occasional splashes of red.
