<DIV>Whie I have seen and enjoyed one (or maybe two) films directed by Minoru Shibuya (a director who started his career working with Ozu at Shochiku), I've never seen any of the ones being shown in Berlin. I would be particularly interested in Radishes and Carrots, which was a project Ozu started before he became incapacitated by cancer. This film (starring lots of Ozu's regular performers) was sort of a farewell tribute (finished the year after Ozu died).<BR></DIV>
