In 1959, Yasujiro Ozu remade his 1934 silent classic A
Story of Floating Weeds. Ozu mostly preserves the details of his elegantly
simple plot wherein an aging actor returns to a small town with his troupe and
reunites with his former lover and illegitimate son, a scenario that enrages
his current mistress and results in heartbreak. If the silent version reveals
Ozu developing his talent; Floating Weeds reveals his distinct style at
its pinnacle. In each, the director captures the joy and sadness in everyday
life. (1959, 119 mins)
