Glad that you saw the Austenesque aspects of this film, which a lot of people seem to miss (in favor of seeing the ending as ultimately tragic.)

One of my all-time favorite films.

If you're interested in an analysis of Ozu's style, the late, great David Bordwell wrote an excellent book on that topic.
