　　吉村公三郎代表作，也是蘇珊．桑塔最喜愛的日本經典片之一。吉村愛向難度挑戰，喜歡實驗，討厭被歸類，是松竹的壞孩子，卻因此為日本電影開創出不少可能性。影片描寫日本戰後，末落貴族變賣大宅前舉行的最後一場舞會。吉村親歷這樣的一個舞會，他用所見所感，寫出一個個玲瓏浮凸的人物：戀棧風光的父親，目空一切的兒子，不肯放下身段的大女兒...道盡大時代的種種細碎。也是原節子代表作，這個洞悉世情的次女兒與父親起舞，成為全片焦點，也為時代作了精采的解讀。　　World War II is over, and the once-prominent Anjo family has fallen on hard times. They must finally sell the family home - but not before one last ball to recapture their glory days. However, old secrets and high emotions threaten to turn the evening into tragedy. Proud patriarch Tadahiko (Takizawa) can barely keep his unruly offspring in check, and tries every last trick to keep the house where he has spent the happiest years of his life. In his darkest hour, daughter Atsuko (frequent Ozu heroine, Hara Setsuko) shows her beleaguered father the hard-won dignity in starting over.　　SummerIFF 2007

　　黑泽明电影的出场人物大都是盛气凌人的武士，但本片却一反常态，用愉快的笔触，写一对年轻充满忧愁的恋人在星期天怎样把种种烦恼抛诸脑后的经过。影片又是日本电影中第一部直接反映出年轻人对性的感受的作品，男主角雄造向情人昌子求爱的情节，令当时年轻观众看得意马心猿。一对小情人在废墟中幻想著未来经营小餐馆的场面，也叫人看得心往神怡。
