Art – un. deux.. trois…

there’s something about Ozu

There’s something about Ozu films that I love. Perhaps it’s the quietness of the plot, where I know nothing is going to jump out at me, make my heart race, or leave me in a soggy puddle on the floor. His movies are not very long but they take me hours to watch. Why? With…

perception is reality
