According to my Letterboxd account 170 films with Italy as one of the producing countries (sure a lot of these aren't actual "Italian" films) and 51 films in Italian language. Most of those would be from Fellini, Antonioni, and Visconti. I've seen a few from De Sica, Rossellini, and Bertolucci. Still no Pasolini Only spaghetti westerns I've seen are the Leone ones and only Giallo are a few Argentos and one Mario Bava Slightly off-topic but I watched Floating Weeds the other night. I really liked it, perhaps a smidgen more than the original, which is one of my favourite silent films.

I think it stands out due to being more (melo)dramatic than most of his other post war work. The rural setting also offers some great visuals, possibly his most stunning color work. I also prefer it to the original which is my favorite of his silent films.

The rural setting also offers some great visuals, possibly his most stunning color work. I also prefer it to the original which is my favorite of his silent films. It stands out to me for the same reason. I'm used to the middle/upper class experience in his movies, whereas these characters seemed more vulnerable from the outset. More damaged; less insulated from the cruelties of life. It's a different type of character than I'm used to seeing Ozu delve into; told from the point of view of the almost street-adjacent working class. It's more of an uphill battle for daily survival than I'm used to seeing in his films. I liked the visuals too. I watched it Monday, so it's very sharp in my memory still.
I was sort of surprised at how effectively it shot up the list of my favourite Ozu's because I wasn't expecting it to surpass the original, but this one's an early contender for my top films so far this year.

Tons. From Fellini to Gladiator (peplum) films. Never was big on the spaghetti westerns though.
