Story of Floating Weeds, A

Story of Floating Weeds, A

1934

Rich in backstage atmosphere and class-conscious insight, A STORY OF FLOATING WEEDS was one of Yasujiro Ozu's final silent films, and it displays his complete mastery of the form. With a vivid sense of character and the world of rural Japan, he sketches a poignant tale of family secrets, jealousy, and creative community, buoyed by grace notes of humanist observation and by luminous black-and-white cinematography that shows his spare yet lyrical visuals at their most soulful.
