Silent Ozu: CJS Fall Film Series - Free Friday Screenings

Featured Japanese Film: A Straightforward Boy

(FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC) CJS's Fall Film Series of 2012 features silent films by Yasujiro Ozu with professional benshi (narrator), Ichiro Kataoka, performing theatrical narration at each screening. Most films will also include a live music accompaniment.

A STRAIGHTFORWARD BOY (Tokkan kozō) (Shown with Charlie Chaplin's "The Kid")
A rarely-screened fragment of Ozu’s 12th film. Much of the film is missing, including the middle scene were the kidnappers unsuccessfully attempt to return the boy they snatched. It stars three actors who would become Ozu regulars: Tatsuo Saito, Takeshi Sakamoto, and Aoki Tomio (who took the stagename Tokkan Kozo from this film’s Japanese title).
(14 min, 35mm, 1929)

LIVE Music: Performance by Chris McNamara.
