The Ozu thread.

Nothing made me appreciate Chishū Ryū more than seeing Early Summer, where you realize he's a nasty middle-aged man instead of the dotard he plays in Late Spring and Tokyo Story.

Lol. Harsh but otm.

Wonder if I should try to see WHERE NOW ARE THE DREAMS OF YOUTH? tonight.

Okay, that was pretty good.

so, record of a tenement gentleman gets a release, I've been waiting for that for a while. only is a 3-br set with two other films that i already have in bfi editions, dragnet girl and hen in the wind. apparently those are new transfers from 202x but still. might have to be a Christmas present to myself.
