A business man is often approached by friends for advice and help regarding marriage as well as family and romantic relationships. He is always very calmly and objectively able to give great insight and assistance to these particular situations. However, when it comes time for him to be objective regarding his oldest daughter, he finds it very difficult.
Equinox Flower was Yasujiro Ozu's first film in color, and wow is it gorgeous. He chose Agfa film from Germany over Kodak or Fujifilm, as he felt that it conveyed red colors better. Here, Ozu tells a story of the hard grip parents can have of their children's life, and how wanting so much control over them they only distance themselves further from the ones they love. Is it worth alienating your daughters just so you can have a piece of mind regarding their marriage? Ozu digs deep into family ethics and the courage to break free from other people's expectations of you, while framing his shots beautifully and spoil us with delicious cinematography.
