Review of I Was Born, But... (1932) by Stella D — 12 Jan 2011
Ozu's most successful early film is, believe it or not, an 'our gang' inspired silent comedy with a bit more of a social message. subtitled 'an adult's picture book view,' it's child's eye view of adult society makes for an engaging and fun watch.
I like the way ozu never idealizes children. these kids are complete brats! loosely remade with sound and color in 1959 as 'ohayô (good morning)'.
