am i being short sighted or has it been a notably weak year for commercial/broadly distributed film in general?

it's hard to say, as i think it's been consistently horrible for ~5 years

it's so appropriate--for a woman whose privacy was almost inviolable for 50+ years-- that we learn of her death nearly three months after it occurs.
i've read in a few places (and heard from a few folks) that hara never really enjoyed acting, and that the choice to leave the profession was not difficult. which provides a slightly sad cast to her many performances (many of which are already quite melancholy).
not enough people mention her performance in naruse's 'sound of the mountain,' which is quite different--more animated, more overtly expressive--than her performances in many ozu films, in which her mix of warmth and impenetrability (sp?) is sort of the point.

Someone please go see Benjamin Naishtat's El Movimento tonight at Film Society of Lincoln Center, so that you can tell me if it's good. His History of Violence was very promising.
