Here, one finds plenty of early standbys (love triangles, tracking shots, etc.) that Ozu would eliminate in the lead-up to his mature period, and more than a little self-plagiarism. But there are also career-long favorites that would carry over: English signage, Hollywood movie posters, and even actor Chishū Ryū - still a decade away from playing fathers and father figures in every Ozu movie - as one of Horino’s best buds.
