1959 / 119min / DCP
Ozu’s remake of his own 1934 silent A Story of Floating Weeds adds color, the eye of the brilliant Rashomon and Ugetsu cinematographer Kazuo Miyagawa, and of course Kyō, playing the mistress of the head of a kabuki theater troupe who’s embittered to learn that her lover has begun to visit his former paramour, now running a small restaurant in the town on the edge of the Inland Sea where they’re slated to perform. One of Roger Ebert’s “Ten Greatest Films of All Time,” and rated by Japanese film scholar Donald Richie as “the most pictorially beautiful of all of Ozu’s pictures.”
