I'm not sure where to put this, but anyway here it is.

I just watched Ozu's Late Spring. I usually have loved all of Ozu's films.

But what is wrong with me? This film is said to be "powerful" and I could feel the father/daughter relationship. I really could.

But I got horribly annoyed at all the SMILING - especially the main female character (the daughter.)

Just smile - smile - smile.

Did any of you get annoyed - or a bit irritated - with all the smiling?

Maybe it is better than 9/10ths of American films where they all blow up at each other and shout four letter words.

But maybe it was a little repressed... What do you think?
