A Story of Floating Weeds/Floating Weeds - Criterion Collection (DVD)

Yasujiro Ozu is universally regarded as one of world cinema's most important directors. This release contains two of the master's most heartbreaking films, which tell the same tale: A STORY OF FLOATING WEEDS (1934) and FLOATING WEEDS (1959). When an actor returns to the small town that raised him, a tumultuous reunion with his former flame and illegitimate son wreaks havoc on his relationship with his current partner. Whether in black-and-white or color, or silent or with sound, Ozu delivers profound works of drama that touch the human spirit.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseDual-LayerFull-Screen - 1.33Audio: Mono - JapaneseDISC ONEA STORY OF FLOATING WEEDS (1934, B&W)Additional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.
