I'm eating a sandwich

[Maidak]

So I went to eat at olive garden with my girlfriend the kid and my little brother well my brother ordered a coke, the kiddo looks at my brother points to him and yells coke head several times with the waitress standing there.


Figured I'd share thought it was funny.

[flagel8]

Busted! The Coke gave it away!

I just assumed that well, you know, OZU...

Only "Tokyo Twilight", and "Tokyo Story" blows me away every time I see it. That's it so far. I'm looking for the others now. Thanks for the suggestions!

Tokyo Story isn't my favorite. Of course, that's within the canon of Ozu films. It's still way way up there relative to other stuff.

I love Tokyo Twilight. Seriously.

You need to watch the Noriko trilogy for starters. That would be Late Spring, Early Summer, and of course, Tokyo Story. It's called the Noriko trilogy because Setsuko Hara plays a character named Noriko in each - albeit, a different Noriko.

After the Noriko trilogy, you need to start in on Ozu's color work. Oh my gosh, but you have some wonderful films to watch. Equinox Flower, Late Autumn and Floating Weeds are my favorites among his color films.

Separate question: have you watched any films by Mikio Naruse?

Thanks for the guideposts.

I have to admit that I have a copy of "When a Woman Ascends the Stairs", but have not yet watched it. That darn syndrome where, when you have a copy of a movie, you feel no need to watch it immediately? And then you save it for later. And later... I know, I'm sad.

Yeah. I did that with Kurosawa's Red Beard for about eight months. And then I watched it and discovered one of Kurosawa's best works. When a Woman Ascends the Stairs is one of my favorite movies of all time. It stars Hideko Takamine. That is the truth. Watch it.

Setsuko Hara was Ozu's muse, but she also starred in some Naruse titles. Hideko Takamine was Naruse's muse, but she also starred in some Keisuke Kinoshita titles. And Kinuyo Tanaka was Mizoguchi's muse, but she also starred in some Naruse titles, and one Ozu title.

Oh, and Setsuko Hara was in two Kurosawa titles.

Here's a youtube guy who puts together some tributes to Setsuko Hara and Hideko Takamine. I love it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O6tdZucyVc

Thanks for so many things to look for. And that tribute was moving.

Also, have you seen Millennium Actress? While we are on the topic of Setsuko Hara.

I have the DVD. I started it, but it was really late and I had to go to sleep. I need to watch it. Setsuko Hara, of course, walked away from cinema in the early sixties and never gave another interview or public appearance.
