Welcome. I also love Tokyo Story and Duck Soup. Late Spring is another wonderful Ozu masterpiece. Rohmer is under-performing in the scoring here; I particularly like his summery films The Green Ray/Summer, Claire's Knee, and My Girlfriend's Boyfriend, though My Night with Maud may be his most accomplished. His films are distinguished by lightness, charm, use of (often lovely primary) colours, deft and natural dialogue, and ability to capture the essence of the seasons. His films are more cinematic than often credited, make clever use of subtle gestures and glances, and of location and nature to express mood.
