  1. Lost in Translation (2003)
    "Sofia Coppola has cited Ozu's late films, including An Autumn Afternoon, as an influence on Lost in Translation's contemplative pacing and use of stillness." source
  2. In the Mood for Love (2000)
  3. Yi Yi (2000)
    "Edward Yang's Yi Yi is widely read by critics as the late-Ozu film of 21st-century cinema — its aging-patriarch structure, generational time, and contemplative pacing map directly onto Ozu's final film. Yang openly cited Ozu as a touchstone." source
  4. Still Walking (2008)
    "Kore-eda's portrait of a father quietly contemplating his children's adult lives draws specifically on An Autumn Afternoon's marrying-off-the-daughter and aging-solitude themes, distinct from the post-funeral structure he borrowed from Tokyo Story." source
