Great review Darren. I love this film but it's not quite as good as late spring for me. Have you seen early summer? I'd love to see a review of that film.

I totally agree that Late Spring is the better film (though both are masterpieces). I haven't seen Early Summer but I'll be sure to check it out soon.

Darren Carver-Balsiger that's awesome Darren. I'm sure you will love it. I think early summer is also better than Tokyo story.

@@garyrobinson8665 Oh wow, that is high praise. I love Tokyo Story very much so that has me excited.
