Sometimes it&#8217;s only worth going through a director&#8217;s early work as a mere curiosity (for example, I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s much value in most (not all, but most) of Hitchcock&#8217;s silent films), but that is not the case here. These are tremendously crafted, wonderfully subtle and evocative films in their own right.<\/p>\n<p>Please find the podcast, the shownotes, and plenty of links over at CriterionCast <a href=\"http:\/\/criterioncast.com\/podcast\/eclipse-viewer\/ep-28-silent-ozu-3-crime-dramas\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"15816\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/mookseandgripes.com\/reviews\/2015\/05\/19\/the-eclipse-viewer-episode-28-silent-ozu-three-crime-dramas\/eclipse42_box_348x490_original\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mookseandgripes.com\/reviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Eclipse42_box_348x490_original.png?fit=348%2C490&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"348,490\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Eclipse42_box_348x490_original\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mookseandgripes.com\/reviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Eclipse42_box_348x490_original.png?fit=213%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mookseandgripes.com\/reviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Eclipse42_box_348x490_original.png?fit=348%2C490&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-15816\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mookseandgripes.com\/reviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Eclipse42_box_348x490_original-213x300.png?resize=213%2C300\" alt=\"Eclipse42_box_348x490_original\" width=\"213\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mookseandgripes.com\/reviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Eclipse42_box_348x490_original.png?resize=213%2C300&amp;ssl=1 213w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mookseandgripes.com\/reviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Eclipse42_box_348x490_original.png?fit=348%2C490&amp;ssl=1 348w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 213px) 100vw, 213px\" \/>In the next episode of The Eclipse Viewer, to kind of tie in with Criterion&#8217;s forthcoming release of Fassbinder&#8217;s <em>The Merchant of Four Seasons<\/em>,\u00a0David and I will be discussing Eclipse Series 39:\u00a0Early Fassbinder, featuring these\u00a0five films: <em>Love Is Colder than Death<\/em> (1969), <em>Katzelmacher<\/em> (1969), <em>Gods of the Plague<\/em> (1969), <em>The American Soldier<\/em> (1970), and <em>Beware of a Holy Whore<\/em> (1970).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David and Trevor are back with The Eclipse Viewer 28: Silent Ozu &#8212;
