Trilogies Part 2

This followup to our recent series Trilogies, Part 1 — coming on the heels of this February’s Swoon series capper, Richard Linklater’s BEFORE Trilogy — adds a few more logs to the fire. The great Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu’s Noriko Trilogy centers the young woman played by the luminous Setsuko Hara in a trio of family dramas. Steely Gotham City is the setting of Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy. And the great German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s BRD trilogy plays consecutive Wednesdays — each one focusing on a woman in West Germany, post WWII. How many parts in this run of Belcourt Trilogies series could there be? Why, three of course. Stay tuned for Part 3.
