Floating Weeds (Ukigusa) (Directors Suite) | R1 |
Floating Weeds has been released in Region 1 in the United States by the Criterion Collection. This release comes in a 2-disc version with the original 1934 film, The Story of Floating Weeds. The 1934 film includes an audio commentary by noted Ozu film scholar Donald Richie. The 1959 re-make includes an audio commentary by film critic Roger Ebert and the original restored trailer. An insert contains an essay by Donald Richie comparing the two films entitled, Stories of Floating Weeds. In Region 2 in the United Kingdom Artificial Eye has released the film with a softer video transfer than the Criterion version. The only extra on this release is a filmography of Yasujiro Ozu. The Region 1 Criterion release is therefore the best available version of Floating Weeds available on DVD. |
