6. AN AUTUMN AFTERNOON, dir. YAZUJIRO OZU, 1962_____
where does one start to talk about 3 women? it's a wonderous, singular movie, and to borrow sasha's words, there's just so much there. we watched it twice yesterday, with and without robert altman's commentary, and i'm still at a loss to adequately describe all its working parts--its lost souls, its color, its landscapes, its performances. it was born from a dream and feels like a dream to watch. it begs to be seen again and again.
it is cold and rainy here. i must be reacting to the weather, as i nearly picked jazz on a summer's day this week, but having been advised that it was perhaps too out of season a choice, i decided on an autumn afternoon. slow, melancholy, visually stunning. i've been meaning to see this for awhile.

i like the commentary
nice pick. this is one neither of us have seen, though it has been occupying space in jarek's netflix queue for awhile, apparently. also, your thoughts write-up read beautifully.
