About
Passing Fancy

A very straight forward narrative with endearing and kinda hopeless characters... and oh yeah, it's a silent film that doesn't feel like silent film at all. The acting is so far ahead of its time, very naturalistic. Ozu really sees through to the truth, without judging it too harshly. This film is both hilarious and sad, but not in an too-weighty kind of way. I loved it.
