A Story of Floating Weeds
1934 · TMDB 7.2 · 浮草物語
Directed by Yasujirō Ozu
An aging actor returns to a small town with his troupe and reunites with his former lover and illegitimate son, a scenario that enrages his current mistress and results in heartbreak for all.
Why it matters
Ozu's silent film about a travelling actor who revisits a former lover and the son he abandoned, shot with his characteristic low-angle stillness.
