The Only Son

This was Ozu's first talkie.  It's all right although I found it a bit too simplistic.  It's about a mother who works hard so that her child can have an education.  She sends him away and doesn't see him until he's an adult. However, he's unhappy with just an ok occupation.  She's naturally disappointed.   I've been watching a lot of Ozu movies now.  He's been a great discovery for me.
