“Ozu taught me how to film silence.”

The strained relationship of a wealthy middle-aged couple without children is put to the test when a headstrong niece refuses to accept an arranged marriage set up by her parents. Among the loveliest, most penetrating domestic dramas filmed by the iconic director Yasujirō Ozu, The Flavor of Green Tea Over Rice also represents Japan’s halting transition toward modernity after World War II.
