 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The End of Summer is a 1961 film by Yasujiro Ozu.It centers on the Kohayagawa family, which operates its own sake brewery in Kyoto. Patriarch Manbei is semi-retired from the operation of the brewery, which isn't doing particularly well, small independent companies like his having to struggle against the conglomerates. He is more concerned with getting his female relatives married off. His daughter-in-law Akiko (Setsuko Hara, in her sixth and last film with Ozu) is a widow in her early forties; Manbei's brother-in-law is trying to get Akiko paired off with a friend of his. His daughter Noriko is unmarried and works in an office; for her the family has chosen a well-to-do beer salesman. Unbeknownst to them, Noriko has fallen in love with one of her coworkers.Manbei, however, has more on his mind than getting younger people married. It turns out that he has been sneaking out of the house, avoiding the sharp eyes of his daughter Fumiko (who lives at the brewery with her husband Hisao, who's running the business). Manbei has been making surreptitious visits to his old mistress Sasaki, whom he recently ran into after not having seen her for nearly 20 years. Sasaki has a daughter, Yuriko, whom Manbei believes to be his. Most of the family is either tolerant or indifferent to this affair but Fumiko is incensed.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The next-to-last film of Ozu's career and the only movie he made for the Toho studio.

 The Cameo: Chishu Ryu, who was in almost every film Ozu ever made (Ryu starred in Ozu masterpieces Tokyo Story, Late Spring, and An Autumn Afternoon), pops up near the end of the movie as a farmer washing radishes in the river.

 Faux Fluency: No one seems to know who the two white dudes playing Yuriko's boyfriends George and Harry were, but they both demonstrate terrible fake American accents.

 Creepy Crows: The farmer played by Chishu Ryu notes an unusually large number of crows sitting around and wonders if someone has died. It's Manbei that's died, and soon enough smoke rises from the crematorium that's on the other side of the river. The very last shot shows crows sitting on the headstones in the graveyard.
