Remembering legendary and sublimely visionary Japanese filmmaker Yasujiro Ozu on his 122nd birthday. He remains a master of humanist and quietly poetic stories of life, love, family, economy, death, childhood, and adulthood.

Last week we watched Kurosawa’s High and Low (1963) on the Criterion Channel (it’s been years) so did we just go see the 4K restored version at the Bryn Mawr Film Institute tonight? Why are you even asking? (If you have the chance to see it on the big screeen don’t pass it up. It’s gorgeous.)

Drove to Princeton to see the university’s newly opened art museum. An ingenious space for art— and what a collection!

As a big Tom McGuane fan, I’ve been meaning to watch the doc All That is Sacred since I saw it mentioned when Jimmy Buffett died. So glad I did—in
just 38 minutes, it says so much about youth, friendship, and knowing that it’s time to move on.

MeTV just showed Hanna
Barbera’s Cat Concerto (1947) and if that isn’t a work of genius, I don’t know what is.

And Baum did cite Arcadia as inspiration for the new paradigm in a NEJM article ten years ago, so perhaps Stoppard knew of his impact.

www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/...?
As a young clinical scientist and surgeon, I was taught that the natural history of breast cancer is unpredictable, like the weather. As I matured in my chosen field, I rebelled at what seemed to me a nihilistic attitude. Furthermore, the weather is not so unpredictable now that meteorologists use chaos theory to refine their weather-forecasting precision. Some 20 years ago, I saw one of the first performances of Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia at the National Theatre in London. In the third scene, set in a Georgian country house in 1809, Thomasina, a very precocious 16-year-old, asks her tutor, “God’s truth, Septimus, if there is an equation for a curve like a bell, there must be an equation for one like a bluebell, and if a bluebell, why not a rose? Do we believe nature is written in numbers?” Perhaps Thomasina would have gone on to discover chaos theory if only the computer had been invented. As the story unfolded, I experienced a eureka moment — it suddenly seemed clear to me that the natural history of breast cancer was unpredictable because we’d been using the wrong mathematics all this time. I soon recruited Mark Chaplain, an exponent of chaos theory, and together with three Ph.D. students we set to work to try to explain the extraordinary “unpredictable” pattern of recurrence of breast cancer after surgery.
