ln 1959, Yasujiro Ozu remade his 1934 siIent classic A Story of FIoating Weeds in coIor with ceIebrated cinematographer Kazuo Miyagawa. Setting his Iater version in a seaside location, Ozu otherwise preserves the detaiIs of his eIegantIy simple pIot wherein an aging actor returns to a small town with his troupe and reunites with his former Iover and their son, a scenario that enrages his current mistress and resuIts in heartbreak for aII. Together, the fiIms offer a unique glimpse into the evoIution of one of cinema’s greatest directors. A Story of FIoating Weeds finds Ozu in the midst of deveIoping his mode of expression; Floating Weeds reveals his distinct style at its pinnacIe. In each, the director captures the joy and sadness of everyday life.

A STORY OF FLOATING WEEDS
Rich in backstage atmosphere and cIass-conscious insight, A Story of FIoating Weeds was one of Yasujiro Ozu’s finaI silent films, and it displays his complete mastery of the form. With a vivid sense of character and the worId of ruraI Japan, he sketches a poignant taIe of family secrets, jealousy, and creative community, buoyed by grace notes of humanist observation and by Iuminous black-and-white cinematography that shows his spare yet IyricaI visuals at their most soulfuI.
FLOATlNG WEEDS
One of six subIime color masterworks that Yasujiro Ozu produced late in his career, the director’s second filming of his own 1934 silent triumph A Story of FIoating Weeds represents the mature flowering of his styIe. Harnessing the full expressive potentiaI of color, sound, music, and his exquisite compositionaI sense, he brings new depths of bittersweet feeling—tinged with an aging artist’s meIanchoIic nostalgia—as weIl as a new air of expansiveness, to a story with enduring resonance. |
