So much wisdom, Ozu  |
I would agree...I signed up for a Hulu Plus trial last week and I finally got to watch The Flavour of Green Tea Over Rice. I had expected it to resemble more of his pre-war films, but it's more like his later B & W films. It uses most of his traditional "fixed camera" perpsective...but there are a few shots that are atypical. Panning shots and those wonderful shots on the train.
There's also a large number of Naruse films that I haven't seen that aren't available on disc. I hope that we see at least another Naruse Eclipse set, but I'll take a blu release from either CC and/or our UK equivalents (BFI or MoC).
