Ozu’s PASSING FANCY with live benshi
Sunday, March 19 at 4:30
This event is SOLD OUT. There will be a standby line forming 30 minutes prior to showtime.
(1933, Yasujiro Ozu) Day laborer Takeshi Sakamato’s relationship with son Tokkankozo (child star of Ozu’s I Was Born But…, etc.) is complicated by his crush on a younger woman. Passing Fancy, which critic and film historian Donald Richie called “a subtle and beautiful film,” won Ozu’s second consecutive Kinema Jumpo “Best One” award – Japan’s Best Picture Oscar equivalent. Japanese benshi master Ichiro Kataoka will perform alongside the film, accompanied by composer and pianist Makia Matsumura. A rare 35mm print will be screened. Approx. 101 min.
