Yasujiro Ozu is universally regarded as one of world cinema's most important directors. This release contains two of the master's most heartbreaking films, which tell the same tale: A STORY OF FLOATING WEEDS (1934) and FLOATING WEEDS (1959). When an actor returns to the small town that raised him, a tumultuous reunion with his former flame and illegitimate son wreaks havoc on his relationship with his current partner. Whether in black-and-white or color, or silent or with sound, Ozu delivers profound works of drama that touch the human spirit.
Cast:
"Viewers intimidated by Ozu's reverential critical rep will be pleasantly surprised by the earthy, allusive humor contained in both these greats."
-- Glenn Kenny
