Floating Weeds
Stars: Ganjiro Nakamura, Machiko Kyo, Ayako Wakao, Hiroshi Kawaguchi, Haruko SugimuraDirector: Yasujiro Ozu
Summary: The story of an acting troupe who travel through the town and villages searching for a place to perform their skills...
In this sly and subtle Japanese morality tale, Yasujiro Ozu observes a stray Kabuki troupe as they follow their leader to a small coastal village. The troupe puts on a shambling performance and questions their vocation. Meanwhile, the troupe leader visits an old mistress and their illegitimate son who believes the man to be his uncle. Allegiances and alliances are thrown into doubt as the troupe leader's past and current lovers clash, as do various generations when the jealous current mistress promotes a romance between a young actress and the leader's young son.

Ozu's colour remake of his major silent masterpiece "A Story of Floating Weeds" (1934) adds a visual beauty to the original which makes for as sublime an experience as film has to offer. The Artificial Eye release, unlike the USA Criterion Collection, does not include the original silent version; but it is otherwise entirely recommendable.
