In this episode Paul, Kieran and I find ourselves getting pretty deep as we discuss the Japanese classic by Yasujirô Ozu, 'Tokyo Story'. A film which we solidly recommend.

Invité : Théo Ribeton

Au programme de cette année 1936 : 

• Frank Capra, le dernier rêveur de l'Amérique ?
• L'Extravagant Mr Deeds : un héros simple fait-il un film naïf ?

• Les Temps Modernes de Charlie Chaplin
• Européen, socialiste, muet... Chaplin était-il une anomalie américaine ?
• La Belle Equipe, Le Crime de Monsieur Lange... Existe t-il un cinéma "ouvrier" ?
• Front Populaire et cinéma : l'exemple de La Vie est à nous

• 4 films en un an : 1936, la grosse année de Sacha Guitry
• Théâtreux, cinéaste, intellectuel, collabo... Mais qui était Sacha Guitry ?

• Tour du monde : Le Fils Unique (Yasujiro Ozu), Furie (Fritz Lang)

This week, we're taking an in-depth look at the life and legacy of Ozu Yasujiro, one of Japan's most famous directors -- despite the fact that it's really only in the last decade and a half of his life that he had the freedom to make the films he wanted to make!

Show notes here.

This week, we watch the film that was rated as the #1 best movie of all time by 358 of the biggest directors in the world (including Scorsese, Tarantino, Coppola, and many others). This film takes on the seemingly not so interesting topic of every day life, and uses its deliberate pacing (slow) to add weight to its topics in a way that we rarely see on the screen. Tokyo Story (1953), directed by Yasujiro Ozu.
