-
"[The film] may be slow-moving by Hollywood standards, but Record of a Tenement Gentleman rewards patience with rich sentiment that's never mawkish."
-
"This is Ozu in optimistic mood, which is not to say that loss and resignation don't figure in large part, just that here the generosity of spirit seems irresistible."
-
"Curtain after curtain is lifted as this formidable film exposes a Japan unknown to most."
-
"A warm comedy of life in postwar Japan, warm in the way only Yasujiro Ozu's cold and formal style can be."
-
"Ozu reveals his directorial genius, which is confirmed by his light handling of his splendid ensemble cast."
