This is a good DVD for anyone trying Ozu for the first time. It's a good movie, a rare Ozu film in color.
Roger Ebert's commentary provides a great introduction to Ozu's style. He talks about the care Ozu puts into framing his shots. He explains why Ozu's concern for his characters makes him the most universal of directors. And he talks about the importance of drinking to Ozu and his films.
Watch it with A STORY OF FLOATING WEEDS, Ozu's original silent b&w telling of this simple story. |
