Early Summer Reviews
A Satisfying Experience
Early Summer is my personal favorite among the three confirmed classics of Ozu (the other two being Late Spring and Tokyo Story), hence I am particularly pleased to get this meticulously re-mastered copy, both in sound and visuals. I enjoyed listening to the commentary by Donald Richie, which is interesting. The surprise in the package being Jim Jarmusch's essay, which is included in the pamphlet. It adds a new dimenson to my appreciation of the film, and as a bonus, got a better understanding of Jim Jasrmusch's own films as well.
beautiful
few films have moved me as much as this one, my third and favorite ozu. the other reviewers have touched on most everything, i'll only say that this film has much more humor than i expected and for much of the movie i was either smiling or out-right laughing. the single girls vs. the married women, the brother spying on the conversation between his wife and sister, the cake scene (i smiled the whole time, then laughed), even the bratty kids. i could go on for a while. but this film also made me cry (you can probably guess where). so many beautiful scenes, quiet, pure acting, long shots of moving and subtle scenery. i had given up on showing ozu to others, because it's usually seen as boring and nothing happening, but this movie has put the impetus in me once again. i want to force everyone i know to watch it!
