Flavour of Green Tea Over Rice (DVD + Blu-ray) Directed by Yasujiro Ozu Made the year before his career defining masterpiece, Tokyo Story, Flavour of Green Tea Over Rice is one of Yasujiro Ozu's most beautiful domestic sagas, a subtly piercing portrait of a marriage coming quietly undone. Secrets and deceptions strain the already tenuous relationship of a childless, middle aged couple, as the wife's city bred sophistication clashes with the husband's small town simplicity, and a generational sea change in the form of their headstrong, modern niece sweeps over their household. Ozu's expert grasp of family dynamics receives one of its most spirited treatments, with a wry, tender humour and an expansiveness that moves the action from the home, to the baseball stadiums and the shops of post-war Tokyo.

In this day and age where special effects are all important, it is so refreshing to step into this cinematographic oasis.

A calm, quiet and simple oasis of pure beauty.
So many decades after it was made, this film continues to enchant. Ozu is one of the true greats of the golden age of the Japanese film. With a very simple story he always conjured up films that grabbed you. And this is no exception. In this day and age where special effects are all important, it is so refreshing to step into this cinematographic oasis.

no sex, lies and videotape
Another absolute humdinger from Ozu. Lies, deceit, with the almost usual balance between the traditional arranged marriage v railing against that notion. The bonuses are straight out of a Harry Enfield/Paul Whitehouse sketch, very odd curios indeed. Highly recommended

The Flavo(u)r of Green Tea Over Rice (BFI Dual Disc BR/DVD)
Purtroppo anche il secondo bluray inviatomi da Amazon, dopo primo reso, è difettato. Sul bluray dalla schermata home si accede ai contenuti speciali (due cosucce di modesto interesse, The Mistery of Marriage e The Good Housewife in Her Kitchen) ma al film no; ovvero, il film si sente e si vedono pure i sottotitoli in inglese ma l'immagine resta fissa sulla schermata home. Peccato, primo intoppo con BFI di cui ho una ventina di titoli. Il secondo disco DVD si vede e si sente "normalmente". E le tre stellette sono per la qualità di questo supporto: upscaling o no, sempre 720p resta. Of course prima del reso definitivo almeno mi sono visto il film su DVD. Il film è bellissimo! Ma lo ammetto, son di parte: "ozuiano" di stretta osservanza. Allego immagini a sintesi dei problemi riscontrati : schermata home, contenuto speciale funzionante su bluray, film che si sente e scorre con sottotitoli sul bluray su schermata bloccata, film che va bene sul dvd
