The Flavor Of Green Tea Over Rice - 1952 - 6/10
AKA - Ochazuke No Aji // お茶漬けの味

Classic Japanese chamber drama from Ozu.
Bored, city housewife complains and badmouths her less upscale husband.
She lies to him, sets off on trips, then tries to push niece into an arranged marriage.
“Like yours? Why would I want a miserable arranged marriage like yours?”
Little in the way of tension or conflict, physical or emotional.
Restraint is the keyword, which includes camerawork.
Compositions and framing are immaculate, in static, low key story.
