La pel·lícula ‘Father Mother Sister Brother’, dirigida per Jim Jarmusch, explora les relacions familiars a través de tres històries independents però connectades, ambientades als Estats Units, Irlanda i França. El repartiment coral compta amb Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Mayim Bialik, Charlotte Rampling, Cate Blanchett i Vicky Krieps. El film, que l’any passat va guanyar el Lleó d'Or a Venècia, es projecta aquest dijous a Lloret de Mar, de la mà del cineclub Adler. El seu president Joan Moret explica que “ja ho diu el títol, no enganya ningú, explica tres històries diferents, de retrobades familiars, en les quals predomina l‘inesperat, l’estranyesa, però també un cert sentiment de malenconia”. El film presenta diversos retrobaments familiars marcats per la distància emocional, els silencis i les tensions acumulades: germans adults que tornen a veure's després d'anys sense contacte i que han d'afrontar relacions difícils amb pares emocionalment absents. La crítica ha destacat l'estil minimalista i contingut de Jarmusch, amb interpretacions subtils, diàlegs precisos i una gran força expressiva del silenci, en una línia propera a cineastes com Yasujirō Ozu i Robert Bresson. El passi de ‘Father Mother Sister Brother’, de Jim Jarmusch, serà aquest dijous (20:30h) al Teatre de Lloret.

An accessible introduction to the concept of the auteur (author) in film theory. In The Film Auteur: Angles of Vision (Routledge, 2026) Robert Kolker and David Wyatt provide readers with a history of auteur theory, from its initial origins in France in the late 1940s as an outgrowth of the cinematic theories of the French film critics and theorists André Bazin and Alexandre Astruc, to the canonizing work of American film critic Andrew Sarris in the 1960s. After a streamlined account of the various postwar renaissances in film - the shock of “Neorealism”, the “New Wave,” and “New American Cinema” - the book features detailed examinations of the work of forty-eight auteurs, including F.W. Murnau, Jean-Luc Godard, Ida Lupino, Alfred Hitchcock, Yasujirō Ozu, Stanley Kubrick, Spike Lee, Pedro Almodóvar, and Jane Campion. In its focus on a limited number of auteurs, this book aims to offer a map of representative figures rather than an exhaustive or comprehensive list, providing an informative entry point to the study of the auteur. Essential reading for any students of film theory and film studies, particularly those taking classes on the auteur. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision-making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 128 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys discuss the next film in their Claire Denis series, 35 Shots of Rum (2008). Sometimes when you are planning a series, you don't think about the connections between the directors and their films, so this week is a happy surprise as Denis' 35 Shots of Rum is inspired by Yasujirō Ozu's film Late Spring, a film they covered earlier this year. Following a father-daughter relationship that is challenged by the arrival of a younger man who wants to date the daughter, Denis uses Ozu's masterpiece to reflect the racial, societal changes within France and Japan, as well as the differences between the two co-dependent family members, and the need for both to move on with their lives, no matter how heartbreaking it is. Ryan and Jay breakdown their thoughts on the film, its relationship to Ozu, how each film is different, as well as random thoughts on films from this year, Thanksgiving food, Jay's recent family vacation, and the pull quote that broke the internet this past week. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 1h50m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Claire Denis with a review of her film, White Material. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it. Music: MUSICALIFE, from Pond5 (intro) and "B-3" from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

Es gibt wie in jeder anderen Sprache auch im Japanischen viele Floskeln, mit denen Menschen ihren Alltag bestreiten: Konnichiwa - Guten Tag - werden auch die meisten Westler kennen. Dann gibt es noch Genki? - Wie geht es dir?. Genki desu - Mir geht es gut. Und Ohayo - Guten Morgen, titelgebend für Yasujirō Ozus Film aus dem Jahr 1959. In diesem beschließen die beiden Kinder Minoru und Isamu, dass sie genug von der floskelhaften Welt der Erwachsenen haben. Der Grund: Zum einen will ihnen ihre Mutter keinen Fernseher kaufen, zum anderen wurden sie von ihrem Vater barsch zurechtgewiesen, dass sie als Kinder viel zu viel reden würden. Dabei sind es doch die Erwachsenen, die ständig irgendwelchen bedeutungslosen Mist quatschen. Und so dann auch die folgerichtige Reaktion der beiden Brüder: Eiskaltes Schweigen: Egal ob sie von der Nachbarin gegrüßt oder in der Schule etwas gefragt werden. Dass sie damit durchaus einen Punkt und die Erwachsenen wirklich einen an der Waffel haben könnten, offenbart sich in den kleinen und größeren Subplots dieses Films: Die Nachbarinnen lästern kräftig übereinander. Eine Kleinigkeit wie das von einer schusseligen alten Dame verlegte Geld des Frauenvereins kann eine ganze Kaskade von Missverständnissen nach sich ziehen. Zwei windigen Vertretern gelingt es mit einem dreisten Geschäftsmodell die Anwohner der Vororts über den Tisch zu ziehen, eine Hausfrau hält die Flatulenzen ihres Gatten für Gesprächsangebote und der Englischlehrer und die Tante der beiden Protagonisten sind so in ihren höflichen Floskeln gefangen, dass sie nicht erkennen, dass sie eigentlich Soulmates sind. Yasujirō Ozu - einer der angesehensten und einflussreichsten Regisseure Japans - ist eigentlich für seine schweren Melodramen bekannt. Hier schaut er auf die Gesellschaft des japanischen Wirtschaftswunders mit viel Herzenswärme, Augenzwinkern und Humor: Inklusive zahlloser Fart Jokes. Johannes, haben Minoru und Isamu Recht? Quatschen wir Erwachsenen wirklich zu viel und vor allem mit zu vielen Floskeln?

Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 121 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys discuss the final film in their Yasujirō Ozu series, An Autumn Afternoon (1962). The boys have come full circle within the end of their Ozu series, as the director takes a similar story structure of a father wanting his daughter to get married, and elevates to beyond what he's shown before on screen; a lasting note within a masterful filmography. In An Autumn Afternoon, Ozu explores what the future holds not just for his characters, but his country as a whole, while also examining the events and actions of his characters in the film through the lens of someone grieving the idea of losing their parent, as Ozu's mother had passed away shortly around the making of this film. A heartbroken director crafted his most personal family drama yet, and a beautiful note to end his career and this series on. Ryan and Jay break down their thoughts on the film, get personal with what Ozu is showing here one last time, look at how the past shapes the present and future of Japan and their cinema, while also giving their Ozu rankings and previewing their new exciting directors' series that begins next week.

On episode 120 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys discuss the next film in their Yasujirō Ozu series, Floating Weeds (1959). On the penultimate episode of the Ozu series, the boys take a look at the second feature film form 1959 from the Japanese director that was also a remake of his own work from 1934, A Story of Floating Weeds. In retelling this tale of an estranged father that returns with his theater company to the city former love and their son live in, Ozu explores the dynamics of jealousy and how the decisions of the past shaped the present and there is no fixing them because explore them could lead to even more disastrous outcomes that shape the future of the characters. Heartbreaking and real, Ozu perfected this storyline the second go-round with a prickly film about how keeping things a secret might be best for all. Ryan and Jay break down their thoughts on the film, the idea of a director remaking their own work, how harmful the ending is to all involved, films releasing in the Fall that Jay will love, their thoughts on the packaging of the new Wes Anderson box set, and so much more.

Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 119 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by AwardsWatch Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson and AwardsWatch Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello to discuss the latest film from director Paul Thomas Anderson, One Battle After Another (2025). On the podcast, Ryan and Jay love nothing more than sitting back and seeing a passion project from a major director be given the greenlight to be shown to the masses, and such is the case for One Battle After Another, the latest invention from PTA, who has spent nearly twenty years tinkering away at this story, making it perfect for the big screen. Loosely based off the novel Vineland by Thomas Pynchon, the film follows an ex-revolutionary who must find his daughter once a dangerous, evil enemy resurfaces after 16 years. What seems like a simple premise evolves into the grandest feature film PTA has made, combining social, political commentary with a wicked, sharp sense of humor, and centering it all around a father, mother, and daughter dynamic that heartwarming, sincere, and emotionally profound. By doing this, Anderson has made a successful odyssey that is the culmination of his career so far while pushing the director do things he's never done before and also things audiences have never seen on the big screen. It's the movie of our time and there was no way the boys weren't going to talk about it. Ryan, Jay, Erik, and Sophia breakdown their thoughts on the film, the various formats they've seen the film in, PTA's sentimental heart clashing with his audacious direction, how timely the film feels, how every performance is pitch-perfect, thoughts on the Christmas Adventurers club, and so much more including a new wrinkle in Jay's Oscar game where we put his expertise to the test and make him predict how many Oscars this film will be nominated for. It's a fun, long, wild ride full of SPOILERS, so if you haven't seen the film, you've been warned. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, YouTube and more. This podcast runs 3h09m.

On episode 118 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by Ross Bonaime, Senior Movies Editor of Collider, discuss the next film in their Yasujirō Ozu series, Good Morning (1959). In the ultimate transition for Ozu, the rest of the films in this series goes from his elegant black and white filmmaking to the world of technicolor, as he slowly transitions into more modern forms of visual storytelling. By doing this, he's also going back in time, reimagining his own work, as Good Morning is a loose remake of his own 1932 silent film I Was Born, But..., and follows the story of two boys going on a silent strike against their parents in order to get a television. In what is an innocent film, is slowly morphs in a tale of gossip within a community and how perception by some doesn't make it a reality, leaving the film an introspective look at the shifting times in Japan. Ryan, Jay, and Ross break down their thoughts on the film, Ozu's evolution within the form, the running fart gags, the defiance of a stubborn child, and so much more.

On episode 117 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by Matthew Huff, Senior Editor of Parade Magazine, discuss the next film in their Yasujirō Ozu series, Tokyo Twilight (1957). Following up an all-time masterpiece is always a task for the Director Watch hosts but Ozu strikes again with another beautiful, dark film about two sisters finding out the existence of their long-lost mother, exploring parental history and hidden secrets in a way only the master director could. This brilliant examination of a broken family is heartbreaking, but also the most mature film in the series to date, tackling an issue not normally discussed at the time in Japan, much less the rest of the world. Ryan, Jay, and Matthew breakdown their thoughts on the film, the impact this revelation has on each sister, how Ozu demonstrates the passage of time, how patient the film is as it is slowly building up to the finale, childhood backgrounds, VeggieTales, and more.

Sometimes you see a film and it's so incredible, you wonder why you never saw it before you first screen. Such is the case with the transcendent film Tokyo Story, one of the greatest films of all time about an aging couple who travel to Tokyo to visit their family and see how they all turned out after moving away from home and growing up. Tender, reflective, and personal, Ryan, Jay and Kevin breakdown the dozens of layers found in this masterpiece, telling reflective, emotional stories of their past as they dive deep into explore the human themes found in this masterpiece from Ozu.   You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more.

On episode 115 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys discuss the next film in their Yasujirō Ozu series, Early Summer (1951). Coming off of seeing and discussing Late Spring, the boys dive deep into the next evolution of a similar story for Ozu, about a family changing their culture post-WWII. In Early Summer, it is less so about a woman not wanting to leave her father for a new life with a husband, but more so about a young girl choosing the match for herself that she wants rather than the set life her family arranged for her, causing strife within her family. Hilarious, insightful, and heartwarming, Ozu's evolution as a storyteller grows stronger and stronger with each project, leading up to next week's masterpiece with Tokyo Story. Ryan and Jay break down their thoughts on the film, the expanded scope of this story, if it's as emotionally relevant to them as Late Spring, early football predictions from the guys as well as what would Ozu have served at a Super Bowl party, and more.

Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 114 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys discuss the first film in their Yasujirō Ozu series, Late Spring (1949). Known as one of the defining directors of Japanese cinema, Yasujirō Ozu is a staple of slow-burn, emotionally impactful cinema that evolved over time as his nation was coming to terms with what their identity was going to be post-World War II. Ozu, a popular director of domestic dramas and comedies before the war, made propaganda pictures for his country during the world struggle to entertain the people of Japan while the horrific violence of war played on throughout multiple countries over many years. The events of the war changed the country forever, and so did the director, as he started to question in his later films the traditions of the past with the western ideas that would become a part of modern culture around the world. In Late Spring, he does this within a father, daughter dynamic about when is the right time to leave one's family to create their own life, and when is it okay for a parent to let go of their child. In reviewing this first film, Ryan and Jay not only review the film and its themes, but explore their own personal relationships within the decisions Ozu makes within the framework of the narrative, making for one of their most personal podcasts to date as they start this new discovery into the world of Ozu.

On episode 113 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by AwardsWatch Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello discuss the last film in their Paul Verhoeven series, Benedetta (2021). For Verhoeven's latest film, the director reteamed with his Elle collaborator David Birke, to make a religious film, as he's an expert scholar of the Jesus Seminar, even writing a book in 2007 entitled Jesus of Nazareth. Though his adaptation of his book, along with several other projects, didn't come to head, he was able to make Benedetta, a loose adaptation of Judith C. Brown's Immodest Acts: The Life of a Lesbian Nun in Renaissance Italy, following the life of a nun (Virginie Efira) who joins the Italian convent while she was a young child and later has a forbidden love affair with another nun, while also seeing religious visions that make her seem like she has direct contact with Jesus. Wickedly hilarious, sensual, and fascinating, Benedetta is a thorny tale of the complexities of faith, as well as Verhoeven's critique of the church, an institution that he's examined for all of his life. Ryan, Jay, and Sophia break down their thoughts on the film, just how funny the film is, if it has more to say than what Verhoeven is bringing up on the surface, the dream sequences, Benedetta's struggles with temptation, Jay's love of The Great Gatsby, Sophia's story about seeing the film at the world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, and splinters. And seeing that it is the end of the series, the boys give out their Paul Verhoeven rankings as well as preview their new director series starting new week.

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 317: Mihai Mălaimare Jr. For cinematographer Mihai Mălaimare Jr., ASC, his work with director Francis Ford Coppola from Youth Without Youth to Megalopolis has been a journey of constant education and evolution. Coppola, known for embracing new technology and a dynamic, on-set creative process, frequently pivots to explore fresh ideas in the moment. Megalopolis is Mihai's fifth collaboration with Coppola. Their partnership began when Coppola came to Romania to shoot Youth Without Youth and scout some locations for Megalopolis. Mihai recalls first encountering Coppola's “crazy ideas.” “I was like, yeah, that's crazy, but I'm 29, fresh out of film school and I'm working with Francis, so I better do it. And then you realize how much better the scene gets.” This relationship fostered a unique trust. “Little by little, we got in this interesting dynamic where I'm craving those moments. And I know it can be a really stressful situation when you prep, all of a sudden you change it 180 degrees. But I know that somehow we'll be able to find a solution and it will be better than anything we planned. And it's interesting- every single time, the scene got better.” Coppola had been developing his ideas for Megalopolis for decades, and shot test footage in 2001 with director/cinematographer Ron Fricke. He sought an ethereal, "poetic reality" with no specific timeframe, a concept Mihai initially found challenging to prepare for. However, the early footage provided crucial visual cues, and some of it was later integrated into the film. Coppola also collaborated with visual concept designer Dean Sherriff, who created a set of art keyframes for specific scenes, which guided Mihai's framing, shots, colors, and lighting. A gold and sepia color scheme added to the film's ethereal look. “It's such an amazing process of discovery with Francis,” says Mihai. “We did some storyboards, but very few. We never really shot listed. We were talking about things in general, but the idea is that when you go on set, and you have the actors, and you have sets and costumes and everything, you want to let yourself be inspired by the actors and the blocking more than just your plans and ideas.” While major scenes in Megalopolis were filmed on an LED volume stage, the movie creatively blends VFX, practical effects, and in-camera techniques. For a beautiful dreamlike driving sequence, Mihai used poor man's process for the car interiors, combining it with moving set pieces, miniature cars, and live actors dressed as statues. Coppola's long-standing admiration for the minimalist style of filmmaker Yasujirō Ozu influenced a preference for static camera work, with minimal dolly shots, tilts, or pans. "It's all about the frozen frame," Mihai explains. "It's a certain aesthetic that I like, because it's closer to still photography. There are things that are happening that you don't think of. First, you have to make sure that the composition is really spot on. And also, it's again the idea of contrast. When you do move the camera, that better be for a good reason.” Find Mihai Mălaimare Jr. Instagram:@malaimarejr_cinematography @malaimarejr_photography Hear our previous interviews with Mihai Mălaimare Jr.: https://www.camnoir.com/ep53/ https://www.camnoir.com/ep148/ Megalopolis will be on tour in select theaters starting July 20 with Francis Ford Coppola doing a Q&A after.  Sponsored by Hot Rod Cameras: https://hotrodcameras.com/ Sponsored by ARRI: https://www.arri.com/en The Cinematography Podcast website: www.camnoir.com YouTube: @TheCinematographyPodcast Facebook: @cinepod Instagram: @thecinepod Blue Sky: @thecinepod.bsky.social

Gabriele Pedullà"Il trascendente nel cinema"Paul SchraderMarietti1820www.mariettieditore.itLa domanda che sta all'origine di questo libro è molto semplice: in che modo è possibile (ammesso che lo sia) portare sullo schermo il completamente altro, il divino? A distanza di oltre mezzo secolo dalla sua prima pubblicazione, l'acclamato regista e sceneggiatore Paul Schrader rivisita e aggiorna la sua riflessione sul cinema lento degli ultimi cinquant'anni. L'analisi dello stile cinematografico di tre grandi registi – Yasujirō Ozu, Robert Bresson e Carl Dreyer – si arricchisce di un nuovo quadro teorico, offerto dal pensiero di Gilles Deleuze sul cinema e sulla fenomenologia della percezione attraverso il tempo, espandendo la teoria alle opere, tra gli altri, di Andrej Tarkovskij e Béla Tarr. Con una prosa chiara, l'autore insegna a lettori e spettatori a guardare con occhi nuovi alla cinematografia d'autore, in un'opera che - come sostiene Gabriele Pedullà - non è soltanto «un acuto studio critico» dei capolavori del passato, ma un vero e proprio «manifesto per un cinema diverso»: «un grande classico che continua a tracciare strade, aprire porte, scavare gallerie, costruire ponti che aiutano tutti a pensare più liberamente».Prefazione "Il trascendente nel cinema" a cura di Gabriele Pedullà.Paul Schrader (Grand Rapids - Michigan 1946), critico cinematografico, sceneggiatore di capolavori come Taxi Driver, Toro scatenato e L'ultima tentazione di Cristo, ha diretto film indimenticabili come American Gigolò e First Reformed. Ritenuto uno dei protagonisti della New Hollywood, nel 2022 ha ricevuto il Leone d'oro alla carriera. Il 16 gennaio 2025 è uscito nei cinema italiani il film da lui scritto e diretto Oh Canada - I tradimenti, con Uma Thurman e Richard Gere.Gabriele Pedullà (Roma 1972) insegna Letteratura italiana presso l'università di Roma Tre e scrive per «Il Sole 24 Ore». Autore di diversi libri di saggistica, tra cui il recente On Niccolò Machiavelli: The Bonds of Politics (Columbia University Press, 2023, in corso di traduzione per Einaudi), con Sergio Luzzatto ha curato l'Atlante della letteratura italiana (Einaudi 2010-12). Presso Einaudi ha inoltre pubblicato le raccolte di racconti Lo spagnolo senza sforzo (2009, Premio Mondello Opera Prima; Premio Verga; Premio Frontino), Biscotti della fortuna (2020, Premio Super Flaiano) e Certe sere Pablo (2024), e il romanzo Lame (2017, Premio Carlo Levi; Premio Martoglio).

In this solo episode on the film 'Early Summer', I complete the ERRP coverage of Yasujirō Ozu's 'Noriko trilogy'. And there is much to talk about with this movie: how it compares/ differs from the director's earlier work 'Late Spring', visual metaphors the filmmaker uses and how I personally relate to this story.

After learning about non-attachment after revisiting Wim Wenders's visit in Tokyo-Ga to the gravesite of famous director Yasujirō Ozu (who left his body only eight months after Jon Katz was born), whose headstone was marked solely with the character 無 Mu (translatable as nothingness), Fairfax Virginia criminal and DUI defense lawyer Jonathan Katz learned more clearly and deeply about nonduality / non-attachment, and began more intentionally pursuing this life path, through his continued practice of the taijiquan martial art, additional mindfulness practice, and lessons from such great teachers as Baba Ram Das (born Richard Alpert) about our interconnectedness.Jon learned about the lawyers mindfulness movement, ultimately attended a great partially silent long weekend law professionals' retreat at the Blue Cliff Monastery, for a year became coordinator of the then-named Contemplative Lawyers group of the national capital area, and finally was willing to spend a long weekend in heavy silence and meditation -- other than during group discussion and question and answer sessions -- at the 2015 Mindful Lawyering long weekend at the Garrison Institute.While Zoketsu Norman Fischer -- a former abbot at the San Francisco Zen Center, which Shunryu Suzuki Roshi founded -- was the biggest draw for Jon among the teachers at this Mindful Lawyering retreat, the remaining lineup of teachers was also great. Nikki Mirghafori stood out for Jon among the retreats' teachers for her apparent particularly practical approach to applying mindfulness, together with her profession as an artificial intelligence scientist. Nikki also brings us front and center to the mindfulness of death, seeing that we all have only one exit from this world. Nikki's social media links are at www.facebook.com/dr.nikki.mirghafori; www.facebook.com/nikki.mirghafori; linkedin.com/in/nmirghafori; www.instagram.com/nikki.mirghafori; x.com/NikkiMirghaforiIn this Beat the Prosecution podcast conversation between Nikki and Jon, they both learn that their early meditation practices involved applying Herbert Benson's Relaxation Response, and moved forward. Nikki's early mindfulness practice took place during very substantial personal challenges. Jon asks Nikki for ideas for lawyers, criminal defendants and others to deal with their suffering, addiction, and suicidal thoughts, as well as how to beat the prosecution. Nikki's lessons include being mindful and compassionate, engaging in restorative justice, and being ready to interact with prosecutors and others on a human level.  Visit Nikki's website for a treasure trove of discussion, meditations, and daily happy hours of guided meditation, talks and discussion.  This podcast with Fairfax, Virginia criminal / DUI lawyer Jon Katz is playable on all devices at podcast.BeatTheProsecution.com.

Ellis and Corbin talk about "GOOD MORNING," Ozu's little fable about two brave little boys and their quest to acquire the most forbidden of all fruits... a television. It's also about adults running their mouths.  Matt and Corbin both reccomended books. Corbin also reccomends "Hit Man," the new Richard Linklatter movie, which you can watch on Netflix (Ugh). Next week's episode is about Frank Capra's 'Lost Horizon,' which you can watch on the Internet Archive. Ellis send my this with the file: 'Song at the end, if you want to put it into notes, is "Go Mad and Mark" off of Envy's A Dead Sinking Story. I think you should put it in the notes its one of my favorite albums of all time and I will admit I put it on this episode because they are from Japan lmao.'

In this episode- recorded last summer- I finally return to the wonderful world of 1940s cinema and- in particular- to the work of Yasujirō Ozu (the director of 'Tokyo Story') with a solo conversation about his 1949 film, 'Late Spring' (a film well worth watching, if you get the chance). And even though it's a short episode I find time to talk about a number of things but- in particualr- I look at this film from a queer perspective. I also have things to say about The Game of Life.

We're in a contemplative mood on this episode, and there's no filmmaker better suited for such a mood than Yasujirō Ozu.

Good Morning (1959): Movie Review from the Ray Taylor ShowShow topic: Step into the charming world of Yasujirō Ozu's 1959 Japanese comedy, 'Good Morning' (お早よう, Ohayō), as Ray Taylor offers an insightful review of this classic film. A loose remake of Ozu's own 1932 silent film 'I Was Born, But...,' and his second color film, 'Good Morning' delightfully depicts life in suburban Tokyo through a blend of humor and societal observation. The film's narrative revolves around the Hayashi family and the local women's club, entwining a humorous subplot about misplaced monthly dues with the story of young boys enamored with their neighbor's television. Ray Taylor delves into Ozu's masterful storytelling and the film's commentary on communication, modernization, and the generational gap in post-war Japan. Discover the charm and subtlety of Ozu's work in this episode, which sheds light on why 'Good Morning' remains a celebrated piece in the world of cinema.JOIN Inspired Disorder +PLUS Today!

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie directors! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Surprise! Here's a bonus episode in which we speak to the talented, prolific, and dynamic director Wayne Wang. Our main B-Side is Dim Sum: A Little Bit of Heart, whose Director-Approved Special Edition Blu-ray is now available from Criterion. Additional B-Sides include Eat a Bowl of Tea, Life Is Cheap... But Toilet Paper Is Expensive (also on Criterion Channel), Smoke (and its own B-Side Blue in the Face), Chinese Box, and A Thousand Years of Good Prayers. We talk to Wang about making films efficiently, his career-long ambition to make a different kind of film every time, how to construct the perfect “pillow shot” (an homage to filmmaker Yasujirō Ozu), combating boredom on set with ambition, and some smaller films he hopes more people discover. There's also talk on his faltered first step into Hollywood (Slam Dance), what he could've bought with the production budget on Maid in Manhattan (a pink elephant!), and the fear that drove him while making Dim Sum.

Family has been an inexhaustible source of conflict for writers from the ancient to modern worlds – maybe even more inexhaustible than war. From Greek dramatists Aeschylus and Sophocles to Confucius, family is a source of both self-destruction and self-actualization. In this episode, we explore how family dynamics have changed over the centuries but have surprisingly universal characteristics across time and space. We are joined by Krishnan Venkatesh, host of the “Continuing the Conversation” podcast. We being with a journey deep into the heart of Thebes—where King Laius has died at the hands of his own son Oedipus, and Oedipus has unwittingly married his mother Jocasta—and a subtler journey into the world of 20th century Japanese filmmaker Yasujirō Ozu, where a happily domiciled father and daughter, Somiya and Noriko, will be ripped apart by the norms and expectations of tradition. This is an exploration of the nature of family, the tension between the safety and anxiety that family creates, and the rich and multiple ways that different societies express these insights.
