Into the Wild

I had really enjoyed the movie, with some reservation that i share with many people regarding the questionable folly of its idealist heroe. The Sean Penn movie had shocked me more than it touched me. It is with this knowledge that I opened Jon Krakauer's book, in order to learn more about this...

"Late Spring" from Ozu

Now here is a really nice movie from Ozu, telling us about the states of mind of a young woman and her father, who both face the dilemma represented by her coming marriage. It's like any Ozu movie, it's refreshing , well observed, and all the little details of Japanese life, with its rites and tiny...
