Ozu: Floating Weeds Blu-ray (Masters of Cinema / B / Engsub)

Levyssä pari häviävän pientä jälkeä joita ei nopealla silmäyksellä edes havaitse. Kansilehtisessä vähäistä jälkeä. Tässä oli alunperin mukana dvd, mutta sitä ei enää ole.

Ohjaus Yasujirô Ozu

Pääosissa Ganjirô Nakamura, Machiko Kyô ja Haruko Sugimura

Tekstitys Englanti

Kuvaus

Towards the end of his career, Japanese master Yasujiro Ozu (Tokyo Story; Late Spring; Early Summer; An Autumn Afternoon; Good Morning) returned to a story he had made some 25 years earlier as a silent, Ukigusa monogatari [A Story of Floating Weeds] , for a magnificent colour reworking, photographed by legendary cinematographer Kazuo Miyagawa ( Rashomon, Ugetsu monogatari).

When a travelling theatre troupe brings their show to a seaside port, Komajuro (Ganjiro Nakamura), an ageing actor, is reunited with his former lover, sake bar owner Oyoshi (Haruko Sugimura), and his illegitimate son Kiyoshi (Hiroshi Kawaguchi), to the distress of his current mistress Sumiko (Machiko Kyo).

From this simple scenario, Ozu builds, one exquisite image at a time, a saga of profound humanity and rich understanding. Encompassing a novelistic range of emotions and tones with the utmost delicacy, Floating Weeds stands tall even amidst a body of work as extraordinary as Ozu's. Making its worldwide Blu-ray debut, The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Floating Weeds in a beautiful new high-definition restoration.
