Opis

Considered by many film critics as the master of Japanese Cinema, director Ozu Yasujiro still inspires filmmakers both within and outside of Japan. The Cinema of Ozu presents new perspectives on Ozu's aesthetic sensibility and his influence on global art cinema directors.

Recenzje

There will never be a definitive book on Ozu Yasujiro, and this impressive collection proves it. That's because the director's work is so wondrously complex — so baffling with cinematic riches — that the powerful analyses of these writers are revelatory while never giving the sense that anyone has had the last word. On the contrary, I expect this project to mark a new era in the endless study of Ozu.
