With subtitles.
I've been meaning to watch this, but haven't got a chance. The BFI made it even greater. Enjoy!
Ciao!

"The two things said about Setsuko Hara are that she was Ozu's favorite actress, and Garbo of Japan. Certainly she was Ozu's favorite --- she appeared in six films for him between 1949 and 1961, and they were close offscreen as well. And, like Garbo, she retired at the height of here popularity: in 1962, she announced that she had never enjoyed making films and secluded herself in an elegant suburb of Tokyo. She is still there, spending time with family and school friends and remaining an object of curiosity and affection of the public. Like Garbo, hara came to represent an ideal of womanliness, nobility and generosity."
