In Banshun (Late Spring, 1949) wordt Noriko (Setsuko Hara) constant geconfronteerd met haar ongehuwde staat. Het huwelijk is een conventie waar in Ozu’s film-Japan maar weinigen van afwijken. Noriko is de humanistische uitzondering zelve: om haar heen regent het mogelijke vrijers, maar de goedlachse protagonist ontfermt zich liever om haar eenzame vader (Chishû Ryû).
Een goede filmtitel kiezen is op zichzelf al een kunst. Loveless dekt de lading van Andrey Zvyagintsev (The Return, Leviathan) zijn laatste film perfect; twee uur lang zien we mensen zoeken naar warmte in een kille setting van onherstelbaar verlies. Geheel terecht ging de speciale juryprijs van Cannes naar deze trage, maar verstillend mooie arthousefilm.
