Ozu-san made An Autumn Afternoon {Sanma no aji) in 1962, when he was fifty-eight years old. Nobody could anticipate that this film would be his last. His death came too early. His autumn years were too short. Ozu-san himself did not know that An Autumn Afternoon would be his last project, even though the film looks perfect for his final film because it fully touched upon and nostalgically realized all the elements of the typical world of Ozu-san. The film is closely related to other films of his. Its central motif is a family drama that follows Late Spring, Early Summer, and Late Autumn, the group of films that center on the plot of a daughter's marriage. The main focus of these films is not on the daughters who are to marry but on the sorrows of the fathers and mothers who lose their daughters.

The film opens with a shot of the huge chimneys of the power plant where the father works. The image is an anonymous one, and it is unclear from whose viewpoint this image is seen. If viewers feel uncomfortable with this image, they simply are too self-centered. This shot hints that cinematic images can stand even without specific viewpoints or judgments.

The scene in an office at the father's factory initially appears very disorderly and confusing. The eye lines between the father and a female office worker do not match when they face each other and talk. Their spatial relationship stays so ambiguous and uncertain that the viewers may feel uncomfortable, as if they were seasick. Ozu-san thought that being too sensitive and apprehensive about these trivial issues was not an appropriate way to watch film. As long as there is a certain space like an office on the screen and there are people talking in that space, the viewers do not have to worry about anything. If they feel that the space is distorted and the people are not in their proper positions, this is only caused by the position of the camera.

Most film directors are afraid of creating such confused or disconnected images on the screen and thus try to construct fluent and linear narratives out of the chaotic world that exists before them. Therefore, they show the faces of people talking to each other from certain angles and edit these images to look as if their eye lines match. Ozu-san rejected this method of cinematic representation as artificial. He made the images on the screen look nonlinear, distorted, and unstable in order to inform his viewers that expressions in cinema are extremely ambiguous, disorderly, and ephemeral.

The viewers of Ozu-san's films should give up their own points of view and simply allow themselves to become absorbed in the flow of time and images that he creates. They are likely to realize that they come to be covered by the world's chaos, assimilating themselves to the characters in his films, who are also ephemeral existences in the world.

Ozu-san came to be indifferent to questions such as the ingredients of a happy marriage. In his autumn years he began to think that no incident in human lives seemed more important than any others.This was the reason why he depicted all the characters as equally banal and worldly-minded in his later films.

Ozu-san is obsessed by scenes of school reunions because they resembled human life. Even though people do not remember their high school days very well, they feel nostalgic about that time only because the past is dead and stands still. They are always apprehensive about the constantly changing present.To escape from the uncertainty of the present, they hope to be absorbed in the static time of the past. This is what they expect from school reunions, but eventually what they always learn after the reunion is that the past cannot be retrieved. This is always the sad case with any reunion.

It is not an easy task to discuss Ozu-san's films. Everybody wants to say something about them, but critics are likely to become depressed when they find out how difficult this actually is, for Ozu-san's films can be only
described by the expression, "Ozu-like." The meaning of his films is like a mirage. The mirage seems far away, and so you walk toward it. But just when you think you have reached it, the mirage moves farther away, all the
while luring you to pursue it further. (Yoshida Kiju)
