Floating grass - there is no eternity under the sun
I still learned about Yasujiro Ozu from the recommendation of others. In 2010, the person who introduced him said that this is a director who can make people see despair from calm.
I don't know if I got such a guide. I can only watch one at a time, so I haven't finished the works of this prolific director yet.
It may be because of the director's own experience of living with his mother. Most of his films focus on family. In the quiet narrative, the story climaxes in the final... -

This nearly two-hour movie, I bought it for 3 years and never watched it, I actually cried today.
Undoubtedly, this is mainly due to the entanglement of family affection in the play, but it is different from the passionate emotion when watching it.

1. The dramatic conflict is more intense and externalized than before;
2. There are several kissing scenes; (this is really not easy)
3. The use of color is a master level; The movie is so familiar and easy to grasp.)
Although there are many "changes", "Floating Grass" still has Ozu's consistent "unchanged", that is, the attention to the joys,... -

Deleuze on Ozu: the inventor of pure audiovisual images
Ozu: Inventor of Pure Audiovisual Video "Time-Video" p.20-27
Although Yasujiro Ozu was initially influenced by American directors, he constructed the first work showing a purely audiovisual situation in a Japanese context (however, he did not make a sound film until 1936). His European counterparts did not follow his example, but in their own way shared his path. Despite this,...
