Criterion has pictures of your favorite auteurs as babies

Looking for a cute yet odd distraction today? Check out Criterion's Tumblr, which currently has baby pictures of some of the most respected and influential filmmakers of all time. Looks like Andrei Tarkovsky was a rather happy child, while Yasujiro Ozu was forced to dress up in silly clothing. Do the pictures of these rug rats shed some light on their future film careers? Probably not, but Akira Kurosawa's childish confusion is worth a look.
