[KineJapan] MOMA's 1970 Japanese Film Retrospective

[Linda Ehrlich]

Many thanks Markus. Charles Silver has always been so helpful to me and my
students as well.

I recall Donald R. telling me: "When we screened Ozu's TOKYO STORY, even
hard-hearted New Yorkers [his words] lingered in the lobby of MOMA
afterwards to talk to each other about the film."
