Review of I Was Born, But... (1932)

By Daniel K (1,478) on 27 Apr 2009

It took me a while to realize what was so strange about Ozu's silent work, but I finally did: his silent pictures are identical to his talkie's…

Review of I Was Born, But... (1932)

By Richard S (2,067) on 07 Aug 2008

Although it is beloved by many, and served as my introduction to Ozu, I never warmed up to Good Morning…

Review of I Was Born, But... (1932)

By Steve R (825) on 10 May 2008

Even in 1932, Ozu's sensibility was fully formed. The camera work was fluider, but those shots of trains going by were already there…

Review of I Was Born, But... (1932)

By Sean Axmaker (1,564) for Turner Classic Movies Online (77) on 02 May 2008

Behind the deft comedy and spirited performances of the two boys is a rather somber engagement with the compromises adults make to the demands…

Review of I Was Born, But... (1932)

By Tim H (1,310) on 23 Apr 2008

Yasujiro Ozu started his career in the late 20s. This is for sure his first masterpiece in his prolific career…

A silent masterpiece from Yasujiro Ozu…

Review of I Was Born, But... (1932)

By Vaibhav W (228) on 27 Sep 2007

Ozu's silent but satirical comedy about the world of adults as viewed by children, is highly recommended…

A delightful silent film about two young brothers whose family moves to a new town…
