Review of I Was Born, But... (1932) by James-Masaki R — 11 Feb 2011
Ozu's films are so accessible including his silent films, and yet there are so many who haven't seen any of his works. Blasphemy, I say. With "I Was Born But..." He goes to the perspective of children, 2 brothers who are bullied in school for being new, the misunderstanding of social status, and all leading up to one of the most memorable and heartbreaking confrontations ever, with the children and their father.
Definitely a rare film that really captures a child's point of view of the world.
