Description

"I've lived a very lucky life, not hard at all. Certainly there has been some difficult stuff - illness, death, disappointment, heartbreak - but nothing most everyone hasn't experienced. The truth is that life is sad, for lack of a better word, but it's also something else: a sensation we rarely feel because as adults we spend most of our time and effort trying to figure out how to dull and tamp down: it's sort of a combination of tenderness, empathy, vulnerability and anger. We probably feel this most intensely as children and especially as adolescents, but the sensation is still always there humming underneath everything, and in moments of extreme emotion comes to the fore; these are the times as adults when we feel "life" most deeply. The film "Tokyo Story" by Yasujiro Ozu captures and sustains this feeling beautifully of any artwork I can think of." - Chris Ware

The above illustration was used by revival film group Cinefamily in 2008 for the cover of its Nov/Dec calendar. It is a tribute to Ozu's "Tokyo Story".

I'm a fan of Ware and Ozu, I've never made this connection....but Much of Ware's work has a similar mood even outside of this piece....Nice one!
