Floating Weeds....
I have fond memories of that film. I gave a survey to the students of a
course on East Asian cinema that I was teaching (nearly 20 years ago!). I
asked the students to list their favorite and least favorite movies.
100% of the class listed the color version of "Floating Weeds" as their
most hated film of the year.
