MaborosiMz9.0· August 18, 2021Followhappened to come across this movie on youtube while searching for another one and decided to watch it without looking up any details about it. While watching it i immediately noticed the similarities to Ozu’s movies, so when i looked it up after the movie i was surprised to see he denied the resemblance. The tatami shots, and pacing are so quintessentially ozu. Either way the movie was so beautiful. i think it’s one of the best depictions of the grief and it how lingers even after a lot of time has passed. even when the grief is subtle, you undoubtedly feel it hanging in the air. it is never explicitly stated how yumiko’s grandmother’s death traumatized her, but you see it in her actions. my favorite thing about the movie has to be the portrayal of the way her husband’s death haunted her. it was incredibly well done and painstakingly real.CommentsSign in to react and join the conversation.Sign inGet the appSee all Mz's reviews for Maborosi (2)First watch9.0August 18, 2021Rewatch 110.0April 25, 2025
