This late-career triumph for Yasujiro Ozu is one of his most visually splendid works. Shot in vibrant Technicolor, the film (a remake of Ozu’s own 1934 silent classic A Story of Floating Weeds) tells the elegant tale of an aging actor who returns to the small seaside town where he once fathered a son, who has been raised to think the man is his uncle. Floating Weeds is a rich, evocative tale of family and the life of the theater.
