“To be honest, I wasnât really sure what to expect from this flick but, since it was directed by YasujirĂ´ Ozu and since it was on YouTube, I thought I might as well check it out.

Notes: Itâs only afterwards that I discovered that it was YasujirĂ´ Ozu's oldest movie available. Indeed, the few movies he made before were apparently lost. Well, one of the interesting things about this movie was how modern it actually felt. Indeed, even though it is now almost 100 years old, it almost felt like watching a contemporary US feature dealing with college students. The other thing that I really enjoyed was the really neat body language used by the actors involved. Since it was a silent feature, there was obviously no dialogues involved (there wasnât even some soundtrack so I ended up putting my own music). However, they didnât rely too much on inter-titles and, instead, sometimes by just slightly moving their hands or their head, the actors would tell what they wanted to say which was really cool. Unfortunately, the narrative turned out to be rather clunky, Iâm afraid. I mean, I really loved the first scene, how this young guy lured this young woman in his apartement but, what was exactly supposed to be his endgame? With the other student, basically his competitor, it was even worse, I really had no idea how he got acquainted with this young woman. Finally, they both ended up living in the same apartement but it seemed to be so random and even though it would make more sense if they actually knew each other before, I really have no idea if it was really the case though.

“I wasnât really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, even if it was rather harmless, to be honest, I had a rather hard time to care about the damned thing though. Indeed, even if it was to be expected, the sto” read more
“I wasnât really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a solid cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out.

“Obviously, since this sequel had been another major critical flop, I wasnât expecting much from it but, since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out anyway.

“To be honest, I wasnât really sure what to expect from this flick but, since it was starring Josh Hartnett, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it turned out to be a rather chaotic movie, that's for sure, but I think its randomness was its biggest asset but also its biggest drawback as w” read more
