Tokyo Story (1954) is indeed the best film of all time.This week is hell week in UP. I thought I was dead and gone Monday night after my exam in Engineering Science. But Alas! I am still here salivating on Cinemanila for the nth time. I have so many films on hold, so many Nouvelle Vague and Murnau to watch, and a lot of Kurosawas and Renoir to deconstruct. Yet, in all this semi-quasi film history digging, and of climaxing at Ozu's Tokyo Story (1954) a few days ago (I cried relentlessly twenty minutes before the ending), I am willing to risk anything just to watch these films:

ROSENBAUM On French Cinephilia
Mizoguchi rocks hard
I quote from Rosenbaum's Paris Journal, Spring 1972 (Paris moviegoing, MODERN TIMES)" [Film Comment, Spring 1972; slightly tweaked, September 2009] (18 Sept 2009) that Harry posted a few days ago:
"...At a recent Cinémathèque screening of THE LOVE OF SUMAKO, THE ACTRESS (Mizoguchi, 1947), nearly all of the seats were filled. Although the print was in Japanese, without subtitles, and no plot synopsis or accompanying information of any kind was handed out, all but about ten of the spectators remained for the film’s duration, without complaint..."This is France in the '70s.
Paris, as Rosenbaum mentioned, is the center of cinephilia in the world!
