"19.1 Ozu/Japani Niinkin erilaiset ohjaajat kuin Jacques Tatin ja John Fordin mieleen tuovassa väri-Ozussa teatteriseurue saapuu syrjäiseen kylään esiintymään. Teatterinjohtajan vanha heila sekä avioton poika aiheuttavat hämminkiä. Kauniita syvätarkkoja kuvia piisaa sekä mukavaa hengailumeininkiä kunnes tarina ottaa vääjäämättömässä lopussaan ehkä liiankin saippuasarjamaisia kierroksia."
