Floating Weeds

Y. Ozu Japan

Late work by the master...one of only four in color. He makes glorious use of color here...particularly red. The story is of a traveling theatrical troupe who come to a remote seaside village in search of an audience. The leader has a former lover...and a son...here and the film revolves around this fact. Re-done by Gillian Armstrong in High Tide.

A great film by any measure.
