Ikiru on-line
Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece Ikiru (1952) is now available free to view
online.
Ikiru is
Kurosawa's version of
Leo
Tolstoy's
The Death of Ivan Ilyich. It is one of
Time
Magazine's All Time 100 movies, and is also one of my favorite movies
and directors. This film is from the golden age of Japanese cinema,
and you get an almost documentary view of post-war Japan in the early 50s.
If you can, get the Criterion
Criterion
Collection version and listen to the commentary to get details on
Kurosawa and Japan at that time.

Surrealist Playing Cards
These are cool. The first
set of cards was designed by the members of the Surrealist Movement in
Marseille in the 1940s. Other decks on the site are based on the works of
Salvador
Dali and
Paul
Delvaux.
"The deck was conceived in Marseille during a meeting of the
surrealist group. The designs for the deck were made by eight artists from
the group. Each made the designs for 2 court cards (including the aces). The
artists were Victor Brauner, André Breton, Oscar Dominguez, Max Ernst,
Jacques Hérold, Wilfredo Lam, Jacqueline Lamba and André Masson."

Erotic Art
in Pompeii and Herculaneum
I was not familiar with the erotic painting from Pompeii and Herculaneum,
until I found this collection surfing on Wikipedia.
"Erotic art in Pompeii and Herculaneum was discovered in the
ancient cities around the bay of Naples (particularly of Pompeii and
Herculaneum) after extensive excavations began in the 18th century. The city
was found to be full of
erotic
art and
frescoes, symbols, and inscriptions regarded by its excavators as
pornographic."

Yasujiro Ozu's Floating Weeds (1959)
Most people are familiar with the work of the great Japanese movie director
Akira Kurosawa, but not everyone is as familiar with the wonderful work of
Yasujiro Ozu.
Scene From Floating Weeds
Ozu's films are very understated and almost seem like documentaries of real
family life in Japan. His camera angels are low and static.
It's as if you are watching the characters with a secret security camera, but
the scenes themselves are composed almost like living wood block prints with
sub-frames and lots of movement by the cast moving about in the shot.
Floating Weeds (Ukigusa, 1959), which he made with the great cinematographer Kazuo Miyagawa
of Rashomon and Ugetsu fame, is a remake of Ozu's silent movie (1934), and is the
fourth movie by Ozu that I have seen. It is only a handful of
his films in color so it
is very special indeed, which is why I think this movie would make a
great introduction to Ozu. The first three movies I saw were in black and
white and part of the
Noriko Trilogy:
Late Spring
(1949),
Early Summer (1951) and Ozo's masterpiece
Tokyo Story
(1953) all starring the delightful actress
Setsuko Hara
as the eternal virgin Noriko.
Read the whole review
