Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox film I Flunked, But... is a 1930 Japanese black and white silent film directed by Yasujirō Ozu. I Flunked, But... represented the first major role acted by Ozu's longtime collaborator Chishu Ryu.[1]

Premise

The film is one of several Ozu directed around this time dealing with student life.[2] The plot somewhat inverts that of Ozu's earlier film I Graduated, But....[2] The film follows Takahashi, a college student, and his 4 roommates and 4 other friends.[2] Takahashi and his 4 friends intend to cheat on a test by writing notes on Takahashi's shirt.[2][3] But the landlady sends the shirt to the laundry and Takahashi and his friends fail the test.[2][3] Takahashi's roommates pass the test and graduate but can't find jobs and end up wishing they were back in school like Takahashi and his friends, who had to return to school.[2]

Reception

Film critic David Bordwell noted influences on the film from Harold Lloyd and Ernst Lubitsch.[2] A Kinema Jumpo critic criticized for lacking the "social bite" of some of Ozu's earlier films.[2]

Analysis

Takahashi has a poster of Robert Milton's 1929 American film Charming Sinners hanging on his bedroom wall.[4]
