Tokyo Twilight

There's only a handful left now that I haven't seen.

This is probably his most bleak, and that's Tokyo Twilight.

And it's a return to another film about kind of conflict between generations, but, you know, very different to his usual kind of, you know, send my daughter off to get married, etc.

storyline.

I think this 1959, the two films he makes here just kind of perfectly show that he's still capable of pulling off a hard-hitting emotional drama just as well as he can do a more light-hearted film.

With Floating Weeds, it's certainly more of one of his harder-hitting films.

It's certainly not bleak in the way that something like Tokyo Twilight is, but...

It's hard-hitting emotionally, obviously, a remake of his earlier silent film, The Story of Floating Weeds.

yeah

but it's weird that one of my favorite ozu movies is actually where he goes against type you could say in a way with tokyo twilight yeah

and then

uh

one of my

favorite mitsuguchi films is utamaro yeah which is maybe his more like light-hearted film

yeah no that's a good point because yeah tokyo twilight is one of

my favorite movies so yeah yeah no uh but i also like love good morning so it's yeah You can honestly say Tokyo Twilight's more of like a Mitsukuchi-ish kind of theme, you know? It doesn't have prostitutes in it, obviously, but...
