I Flunked, But ... (Ozu, 1930): BFI Southbank, NFT2, 3.55pm
This film, also screening on October 7th, is part of the Big Screen Classics strand. Details here.
BFI introduction:
Takahashi and his friends decide to cheat in their end-of-year exams by
writing a series of the answers on the shirts they plan to wear. But
their plan doesn’t go as smoothly as they hoped. With more than a
passing nod to Harold Lloyd’s The Freshman, Ozu’s comedy is a tightly
directed classic with global appeal, and features expert comic
choreography and strong visual humour.
Here (and above) is an extract.
