    As much as I love Kurosawa and Mizoguchi , Ozu always intrigued me the most. I feel he understands the human condition more than any other filmmaker.

      Simplicity *is* grand. He just pointed this out to us; that was his genius. But we didn't listen.

      Great analysis. I once told a friend that Ozu's films are mundane in the best sense of the word. I'm working through his color films and his use of color is so masterful having seen only his B&W films before.

    A beautiful video. I’ve been watching Ozu films for the first time, in the last week and a half or so. He has quickly become one of my favorite ever directors. I long for a quiet life of peace and solitude, and seeing his films is just a nice and pleasant experience. Doesn’t crowd your head with drawn-out exposition, no blockbuster movie type-explosions. Just quiet meditations upon the human condition. Life is simple in an Ozu film, as it should be.

  • @antw4065

    I heard on a BBC podcast about Tokyo Story that referring to someone as a "tofu maker" is actually quite a big compliment in Japanese culture as the art of tofu making it considered a very challenging skill to master.

    I have noticed that so many famous Japanese art like Ozu, Ghibli, Joe Hisaishi, and most animes and music have this bitter-sweet emotion which really hits our heart. I think this nostalgic bitter-sweet aesthetic is the main philosophy/beauty of Japan.

    It is all so familiar, I know every film referred to here, but never tire of them. Nor of Ozu’s ‘static’ positioning of the camera or traditional Japan disappearing before my eyes. Lovely, lovely homage. Your montage is a tribute to the master in itself. Arigatō.

    So... I guess I should start by his color films! I'm still in doubt between two: Floating Weeds or An Autumn Afternoon. Well, only one can be my first Ozu, and only once. Nah, that's not what will matter the most.
    Your video is beautifully put together. Loved the cuts. Now, what I found the most charming of all were the credit text, and their placement!

    • @dragoniguana

      I have a feeling it's from Floating Weeds - not certain, even though I've seen the film (gosh, his "pillow shots" are so difficult to tell apart from one movie to the other!).

      @HP_____ 3 года назад +2

      To be accurate, Tarkovsky's admiration in Japanese cinema lies in Mizoguchi and Kurosawa, not Ozu. He found Ozu, alas, boring. It's stated in his book SCULPTING IN TIME. It's not surprising though since he was rather anti-montage and had an affinity for long takes and wide shots with drifting camera movements a la Mizoguchi, who was an idol of his. Ozu was probably too static and too much editing for him. It's too bad but that's how it is.

    • @adelaskari7952
      @adelaskari7952 3 года назад

      @@HP_____ maybe the things that you are talking about is the fact that you have studied, but i think Ozu is more modern than anyone else. I think Tarkovsky puts Tokyo story in his ten best film of all time . but to me maybe its lied in unconscious. but to be honest if i want to pick up between Mizoguchi , Kurosawa , Ozu, I certainly pick Ozu. those are really great but I think the real cinema is not depend to literature or any kind of theater!!!
      as i said those are great like antonioni or fellini ...
      but to me i cant put Tarkovsky, Berson, Ozu or Kiarostami in category of those great. i think the names that I have mentioned are the essence of true cinema and the developed cinema to another level..

      Once again, Tarkovsky did not like Ozu's films, not even Tokyo Story. Not all filmmakers have to like other people's films. Here's his top ten list on a handwritten note:
      faroutmagazine.co.uk/static/uploads/2019/11/Andrei-Tarkovsky.jpg
      1, Diary of a Country Priest - Robert Bresson, 1951.
      2, Winter Light - Ingmar Bergman, 1963.
      3, Nazarin - Luis Buñuel, 1959.
      4, Wild Strawberries - Ingmar Bergman, 1957.
      5, City Lights - Charlie Chaplin, 1931.
      6, Ugetsu Monogatari - Kenji Mizoguchi, 1953.
      7, Seven Samurai - Akira Kurosawa, 1954.
      8, Persona - Ingmar Bergman, 1966.
      9, Mouchette - Robert Bresson, 1967.
      10, Woman of the Dunes - Hiroshi Teshigahara, 1964.
      Here's the full article:
      faroutmagazine.co.uk/andrei-tarkovsky-10-favourite-films-list/
      You can compare Tarkovsky to Ozu all you want, such as their ways of expressing spirituality in a material world and visual styles, etc... I just wanted to point out Tarkovsky was never influenced by Ozu. There's no harm in pointing out factual error so people can be better informed. Tarkovsky truly admired Mizoguchi, who is certainly a supreme master in Japanese cinema and that's no slouch!
