[KineJapan] New Film: THE OZU DIARIES (Oscar-nominated director Daniel Raim) - now available for Campus Screenings

[Markus Nornes]

Here are a few comments on *The Ozu Diaries* on NHK's JFlix. There was no
time for anything interesting to say, so this is mainly interesting to get
a flavor of the film and see the diaries.

The current JFlix is also out, with my bit on Naruse. Both shows feature
Alex talking about a new slate of films. And there's also an interview with
Ichiyama Shozo about TIFF.
