Floating Weeds

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Last night we watched "Floating Weeds". This was one stunning film, and visually almost beyond belief in it's beauty at times. A year or two ago we watched "Tokyo Story", which I really liked, but it didn't leave me quite as impressed.

I believe that our video store has at least one more Ozu film, and if so I'll be grabbing it tomorrow!

When I was a kid I thought that all Japanese films starred Godzilla. As an adult, I'm glad I've been able to see films by filmmakers like Ozu, Mizoguchi, and of course Kurosawa, and know that the best Japanese films don't take a back seat to anyone's.

You can't go wrong with any Ozu. Just "google" his films, their are literally - tinear 08:02:36 04/28/10 (0)

I look forward to it, especially the visuals, but also to compare it to the first one - PhilJ 12:01:16 04/27/10 (2)

the lack of cars may be part of Ozu's minimalist approach - PhilJ 07:55:06 04/29/10 (0)
