Yasujiro Ozu: Floating Weeds (1959) - Ending

The gorgeous ending to Yasujiro Ozu's Floating Weeds (1959). The down and out Komajuro Arashi meets his mistress Sumiko (played masterfully by Ganjiro Nakamura and Machiko Kyo respectively) in a train station.

For me Kojun Saito stands alongside Nino Rota, Bernard Herrmann, Ennio Morricone and Zbigniew Preisner as one of the greatest composer to collaborate regularly with a director. When his fragile melody kicks in at the beginning of the scene it never fails to give me goosebumps.

This film is such a wonderful achievement (especially when you consider that Ozu managed to direct the equally outstanding Ohayo in the same year!).
As always this clip is uploaded in appreciation of Yasujiro Ozu and the wonderful filmmakers who collaborated with him. This film was made for Daiei Studios and I would imagine it is still owned by them or Kadokawa Pictures?
