This is correct. A wonderful film.Raiziel wrote:Ghost Story. It’s amazing, and those who haven’t seen it yet should get on it immediately.

Watched it this morning, very good. Did it say it was based on a true story? I hope not.

So you’ll have to down my self-indulgence... Talk of Ozu and Kurosawa reminded me of when I started watching such films. I took a year out between school and uni. Bought myself a tv and video recorder in my room, and recorded and watched many great films that showed on TV during Xmas ‘98. I think it was BBC2 running a season of critically acclaimed films or something, but after watching the following, 2 of which are still my top 2 unmovable films, I started watching different types of films and not just blockbusters and Bollywood. Thank you, BBC2 for that run of great films. Godfather Seven Samurai Farewell My Concubine To Live Vertigo

All of the artistic concepts he utilised like Mu/Ma and Mono no aware, to the technical stuff with the wide angled lenses, and weird low camera/raised stage all come across so well - an unconpromisef vision. I love how he broke western “rules” consistently and competently to make his own perfectly literate cinema.
I’d still put my vote with Kiyoshi Kurosawa as my favourite Japanese director, however, but that’s partly due to him having drawn on a time frame that I find more interesting, and his love of horror.
For another really fantastic Japanese film I can’t recommend Kon Ichikawa’s An Actor’s Revenge highly enough, I think about it really frequently.
