Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })An Autumn Afternoon (Sanma no aji) is a 1962 Japanese film, the last film by director Yasujiro Ozu.Shuhei Hirayama is a widower who lives in Tokyo with two of his three adult children: his daughter Michiko and his son Kazuo. He also has a married son, Koichi. His sons aren't doing all that great: Koichi hits his father up for loans and Kazuo is just generally lazy. With their mother apparently long deceased—it's strongly implied that she was killed in an American bombing raid during the war—Michiko is keeping house for her father and brother. Most of the plot revolves around Shuhei's growing worries that Michiko will never be able to marry since she spends all of her time taking care of him and Kazuo, worried that they couldn't take care of themselves.Chishu Ryu, who was attached to Ozu via umbilical cord, stars as Shuhei. Ozu made several movies around the general premise of an aging father getting a daughter married off; compare his 1949 film Late Spring which is a more tragic take on the whole idea.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Chekhov's Gag
 An Autumn Afternoon / int_22cf50f9
comment
Chekhov's Gag: Shuhei and Kawai play a prank on Kawai's wife Nobuko by saying that Horie has died because he had high blood pressure and a young wife. Later, Kawai and Horie prank Shuhei by telling him that Horie has found a wife for the guy Kawai suggested Michiko marry. Nobuko tells Shuhei that they're just messing with him – Horie wanted revenge for the earlier prank.

Bittersweet Ending: Michiko gets married happily like she wants, making Shuhei's plans a success. But Shuhei is melancholy, sitting home alone in the last scene, after musing how it's a waste to raise children because they leave so soon. There's also irony in that his drunken blubbering is almost exactly like Sakuma's the night Shuhei took him home, but the ostensible reason for marrying Michiko off was so he wouldn't end up like Sakuma.
