Floating Weeds

I watched the silent movie A Story of Floating Weeds a while ago.  I've seen Floating Weeds years ago and thought it was amazing.  This is the superior remake.  Machiko Kyo was one of my favorite actresses when I was in my early 20's.  She was in classic movies like Gate of Hell and Rashomon.  She is great as a villain here.  An actor decides to visit his wife after many years and meet his grown-up son.  His mistress Machiko is jealous so she gets an actress to play the son's interested lover.  Only things don't go as planned.  This movie is simply fantastic.
