One of many rare Daiei gems thought lost forever.<br /><br />Crazed Fruit (1956): For my money,the best of the juvenile delinquent "sun tribe" films. Young cast is electrifying, especially husband & wife team Yujiro Ishihara and Mie Kitahara.<br /><br />Pale Flower (1964): Film noir, Japanese New Wave style, courtesy of one of the movement's best, Masahiro Shinoda.<br /><br />Early Spring, Late Spring, Early Summer, End of Summer, Late Fall: Whatever the season, Ozu never goes out of fashion!Patrick Gallowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666224685708217873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657760020363193414.post-21851716654194335502014-12-16T20:22:59.525-08:002014-12-16T20:22:59.525-08:00This is great!
