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.
"I Flunked, But..." (Rakudai wa shita keredo) is an Ozu piece made in the 1930's, and a great example of what a Silent Film can achieve. A college satire set in Depression-era Japan, "I Flunked But.." is an excellent movie, a comic masterpiece, and perhaps one of the stronger examples of Ozu's silent film ouevre.

A classic melancholic Ozu comedy. This film reflects on the depression of the time and makes the joke that whether you graduated or flunked you're still out of a job. At only 65 minutes it's not as epic as most of Ozu's films but it works for what it is and manages to encapsulate a lot about the time. It's a nice little watch.
