wpqx, could you move our discussion of Late Spring to the director's files? (Kurosawa, Ozu, Mizoguchi.)

I have been so troubled by the film. It was all the pain behind the smiling that I am getting in touch with.

At first I was annoyed by all the smiling. But now the loneliness of the film, the father at the end peeling an apple facing aloneness, and the daughter going off to a marriage she did not want - all of it is bearing down on me.

Please move this to the Ozu director's spot so we can discuss it further.
