When a travelling theatre troupe brings their show to a seaside port, Komajuro (Ganjiro Nakamura), an ageing actor, is reunited with his former lover, sake bar owner Oyoshi (Haruko Sugimura), and his illegitimate son Kiyoshi (Hiroshi Kawaguchi), to the distress of his current mistress Sumiko (Machiko Kyo). From this simple scenario, Ozu builds, one exquisite image at a time, a saga of profound humanity and rich understanding. Encompassing a novelistic range of emotions and tones with the utmost delicacy, Floating Weeds stands tall even amidst a body of work as extraordinary as Ozu's. (Eureka Entertainment)

Just how beautifully colorful this film is, it's a delight for the eyes. It is the primary sense that is utilized when watching this movie. Although the sound is picturesque, it doesn't stand out in that sense, and it will be the visual impression that remains in you, even with the last scene. Beautiful, funny, and tragic without the individual planes nullifying each other.
