4- Late Spring (1940s)

Published: June 1, 2024, midnight

In this episode- recorded last summer- I finally return to the wonderful world of 1940s cinema and- in particular- to the work of Yasujir\u014d Ozu (the director of 'Tokyo Story') with a solo conversation about his 1949 film, 'Late Spring' (a film well worth watching, if you get the chance). And even though it's a short episode I find time to talk about a number of things but- in particualr- I look at this film from a queer perspective. I also have things to say about The Game of Life.
