Yasujirô Ozu's "Little Rascals".
This intensely likeable silent comedy follows two young boys who have just moved into a new neighborhood and their struggles fitting in with the group of boys who already live there. Just as they have adjusted, they are invited to the house of a boy who's father is their father's employer to watch home movies. They see in the film's that their dad is of much lower status than they thought and a small revolt happens at home.
This is really a delightful film. It's not quite as great as the searing masterpieces Ozu would go on to make, but really ... what are?
Xx.
