The TVI Take

Yasujirō Ozu's 1959 remake of his 1934 silent A Story of Floating Weeds, a traveling kabuki troupe arriving in a small Japanese island village where the troupe's leader has an illegitimate son. The structural commitment to letting Kazuo Miyagawa's color cinematography render Ozu's signature visual language is the catalog's most-visually-canonical late-career work.
