Notes: An extra media fee of 4,400 yen is required. Topical Section Description: Yasujiro Ozu (1903-1963) made films that were immensely popular to Japanese audiences because of his ability to capture the customs, concerns, and rhythms of everyday life. Ozu’s films were so deeply rooted in ordinary people’s experiences that he was considered “the most Japanese” of directors. Accordingly, during his lifetime, his work was almost unknown outside Japan, but since his death he has become an inspirational figure for filmmakers around the world. In 2012, Ozu’s most famous work, Tokyo Story (1953), was named the greatest film of all time in a poll of international film directors. In this class, we will examine the unique style of Ozu’s films and explore their cultural and historical background.
