Re: Sight and Sound (2002) Greatest Films Club
Late Spring
Perhaps this is contradictory, but I really like Ozu's lingering style visually, but find the glacier storytelling pace much less appealing. In other words, the long establishing shots really set the tone well, and work great. But taking two hours to tell a 15 minute story, not so well. At least for me.
At least I have no qualms about films like this being on the list. It may not be my cup of tea, but it's easy to appreciate it nonetheless.
