“I'm overwhelmed. I remember I, last time I took Ozu, of course, everything I could get my hands on and I took this one and have that at home, so I'm not gonna take it again. Story of Floating Weeds and Floating Weeds. His film from 1934, the silent and the remake in '59, one of The Most Beautiful possible double bills in film history.”
