Description
Yasujiro Ozu: A Critical Study of His Life and Films Donald Richie's in-depth exploration of Yasujiro Ozu's life and career is a significant work for film enthusiasts. This comprehensive study examines the director's preoccupations, working methods, and artistic vision, drawing on reproductions of his notebooks and shooting scripts, as well as quotes from co-workers and Japanese critics. Ozu's oeuvre is characterized by its focus on the Japanese family and its dissolution. Throughout his fifty-three films, this theme is explored in various ways, reflecting Ozu's unique perspective on the human experience. The boundaries between personal and public life are blurred, creating a sense of intimacy and universality. Richie's book provides a detailed filmography, accompanied by numerous stills, offering a rich understanding of Ozu's contributions to Japanese cinema.
