The CinePearl Take

An Autumn Afternoon is a classic-era Japanese film in the drama mould — expect grounded performances and personal stakes. Yasujirō Ozu directs and the script comes from Yasujirō Ozu and Kōgo Noda. Chishū Ryū and Mariko Okada are among the leads. Made in Japan, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring Japanese-language films. Released in 1962, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 113 minutes, it is a comfortable evening's watch.
