Ooff... I didn't think I would last through this movie. It was incredibly dragging. In the beginning it was only interesting to see a slice of life from early 50s Japan, which wouldn't have been enough to keep me interested for more than 2 hours. Ever so often there were interesting moments showing the little struggles everyone has to bear and the premise of growing old and estranged from your children while being helplessly bothered on the other side is a really interesting one. There were even many sweet elements there. But in the end the most interesting thing is the actors constantly talking into the camera. A very unique and innovative element for the time.
