I Was Born, But... (Benshi: Ichiro Kataoka, Music: Reiko Emura)

Umarete wa mita keredo / Jasudžiró Ozu / Japan 1932 / 90 min. / DCP
I Was Born, But... remains Yasujiro Ozu’s most famous and admired silent film. It works brilliantly as both a timeless social satire and an incisive commentary on a family’s everyday life, which weaves together several strands of his work: just seemingly simple stories from work, school, and family environments.
