- Description
- In 1959, Yasujiro Ozu remade his 1934 silent classic, "A Story of Floating Weeds", in color with celebrated cinematographer Kazuo Miyagawa (Rashomon, Ugetsu). Setting his later version in a seaside location, Ozu otherwise preserves the details of his elegantly simple plot wherein an aging actor returns to a small town with his former lover and illegitimate son, a scenario that enrages his current mistress and results in heartbreak for all. "Floating Weeds" reveals Ozu's distinct style at its pinnacle. In it, he captures the joy and sadness of everyday life.
