interesting piece by Chris Fujiwara on the adaptation of Ozu’s last script,
<i>Daikon to ninjin</i>.</font></span></p>

<p style="margin: 4pt 0cm 0pt;" class="yiv2040620461MsoNormal"><span style=""><font face="Arial">It goes a long way to
answering the question forming in my head from last week’s Berlinale screenings
– How was it that <i>Daikon to ninjin</i> felt totally like a Shibuya film,
whereas all the other ones felt like the work of whatever scriptwriter was
engaged.</font></span></p>
<p style="margin: 4pt 0cm 0pt;" class="yiv2040620461MsoNormal"><font face="Arial">The short
season, of the eight films from the 50s and 60s shown at Tokyo Filmex, are
repeated this week at Berlin Arsenal and later at
Hong
Kong . <span style=""> </span>They turned out
to be quite a good vehicle for comparing scriptwriters and they are all
fine-looking prints, many in scope and colour with a parade of famous faces and
names from the period.</font></p>
