Synopsis:
The themes in Ozu's films are somewhat similar: they are usually about the Japanese family and the relations between older and younger generations. Thus, more than any other director, Ozu in various films works with similar materials and even remakes subjects particularly appealing to him. Late Autumn, as such, can be said to be a variation of Late Spring (1949), with the substitution of a mother for a father trying to marry off her offspring. The story concerns with Ayako, a young girl who passes over marriage prospects to stand by her widowed mother, Akiko. When three middle-aged matchmakers who used to be close friends of Ayako's father, secretly plan for a remarriage of Akiko, relationship between the caring mother and the lovable daughter faces a real challenge...
