A Kabuki actor, Komajuro, returns to a small coastal town in the South of Japan with his troupe. Years ago, he left there a son, Kiyoshi, who thinks he is his uncle, and tries to make up for lost time. However, his current mistress grows jealous. She convinces one of the actresses to seduce Kiyoshi.
One of just six color films made by Yasujirō Ozu, this novelistic saga saw the Japanese master return to a story he’d filmed some 25 years earlier. A profoundly humanistic tale of a traveling kabuki troupe, Floating Weeds sees one luminous image follow another in a procession of delicacy and grace.
