Yasujiro Ozu made a ton of silent movies and I'm glad that the Eclipse collection decided on releasing three of them. This was a pretty good movie although it would have been better with a score. This focuses on a father who loses his job and the effect it has on his children and on his wife. The wife is embarrassed by his effort with a job beneath him. The boy throws a tantrum when he realizes he won't get a bike. This isn't a completely depressing movie. It does have a hopeful outlook. I wish that more of Ozu's early movies were available.
