Ozu’s Tokyo Twilight

Tokyo Twilight stands out among the Ozu films I have seen. It’s got much more drama and action.

It’s buried in a Criterion DVD set. I wish it got its own release on Blu-ray.

4/30/57: Yasujiro Ozu masterpiece Tokyo Twilight, w/Setsuko Hara, Ineko Arima, Chishû Ryû
A harder edge for Ozu – essential viewing

It’s great that they’re showing so many of her Ozu films. I recommend Tokyo Twilight which is never talked about as one of Ozu’s best – I think it’s excellent. https://t.co/NI5yLL6NcS

The Killers (1946)

The Killers is an outstanding film noir starring Burt Lancaster and Ava Gardner. It’s available on disc from the Criterion Collection. Criterion has also included the 1964 version.

The film is as nested with weird resonances as it is glamorous with obvious pleasures. #filmnoir https://t.co/8iwGgGpdnN

The Warner Brothers logo

#WarnerBrosDiscovery opened their press event w/ a montage of 100 years of Warner Bros classics.

Then they never mentioned the library again.

Film: In This Our Life

In This Our Life (1942) is not nearly as well known as it should be. It has never been on Blu-ray and was on DVD in a Bette Davis box set. It’s an excellent film and Davis is great in it.

Happy birthday to Bette Davis, shown here IN THIS OUR LIFE (John Huston, 1942). Here's a 2009 tribute to the film—and Davis's superb, fearless work in it—by the late Stanley Crouch: https://t.co/QqVU28geYN pic.twitter.com/NBcLQzh7PG

In This Our Life is an underrated gem. It was much admired by James Baldwin as well. Definitely one of the best films about race from the classic Hollywood era, and it features one of Bette's strongest, most uncompromisingly honest performances. https://t.co/KrkaHgdcPP

Sterling Hayden was born on 3/26/16

He was an excellent actor. Try The Killing or Johnny Guitar.

1. Johnny Guitar, one of the greatest, hippest, most vulnerable leading man's performances ever; out-Mitchums Mitchum and out-Deans Dean. https://t.co/WbIhvwUcR0

The actress is Gloria Grahame who was also great. Thus is for Naked Alibi which is now on Blu-ray
