Alright time to take a break from my surreal/fucked up/trippy movies and delve into something more relaxing….an Ozu Film!

Here’s my metaphor sometimes us as cinephiles love watching our Holy-Wood blockbuster Propaganda movies, good ol popcorn flicks that further push the New World Order Illuminati Agenda. It makes us spiritually overweight with negative energy. Sometimes we smoke lots of weed and munch out at All-You-Can-Eat Chinese buffets until our stomachs get upset……..

But after supper it is also recommended to drink Japanese Green Tea to settle your stomach, to relax your senses, put you in a state of ease and peace. And that’s what ANY Ozu film will do to you.

If you aren’t familiar with Ozu’s style and acting then you need to experience Floating Weeds. (I still need to see the original silent film). There’s just something about his movies that make you reflect on your own life, and help you mature and grow.

I won’t go into detail about the plot, because the drama unfolds so elegantly, with BEAUTIFUL static shots and cinematography.

Favorite scenes:

-Arguing in the rain (one of my FAVORITE shots/scenes from any Ozu film)
-The kabuki troupe after their performance peeking behind the curtain picking which girl in the audience they like the best

2 hours of wonderful subtle family drama that seeps into your soul.

I highly recommend everyone to pick up the Criterion Collection DVD (can’t wait to hear the audio commentary)

9.5 out of 10 one of my favorite Ozu Films. Ozu fans will already have seen it. New fans need to experience it!
