Yasujirō Ozu

12 -12- 1903 / 12 -12- 1963 ,was a Japanese filmmaker.

I am not up to date with Japanese filming like I am with Korean.
Lacking time, not lack of interest.

But do venture there once in a while .
Two years ago I watched a few 1930 's movies from him .
In these movies he showed his way of filming whole scenes with a steady camera from one point.

I think "Idol I " is very much inspired by him.

Last night's film was Floating Weeds (Japanese: 浮草, Hepburn: Ukigusa) a 1959 Japanese drama directed by Yasujirō Ozu, starring Nakamura Ganjirō II and Machiko Kyō. Considered one of the greatest films ever made, it is a remake of Ozu's own black-and-white silent film A Story of Floating Weeds (1934). - Wikipedia

[Title] AN AUTUMN AFTERNOON

[Author] Yasujirō Ozu
[Year] 1962
[Type] Film | Drama
[My rating] 9⭐ in 10

[Opinion] In his masterful simplicity, Ozu shows us how sometimes even the best of people get lost in selfish desires, and often all we need to be able to shift to a better selfless path is to be humble enough to listen to the people around us, even if it leads to our deepest fears. What an amazing film, the author's last. Worth the time of any artfilm lover.

Tōkyō Boshoku (Yasujirô Ozu, 1957). Melodrama con madre ausente, padre anodino y dos hermanas: Akiko, la menor rebelde y Takako, la mayor responsable (que ha cometido un acto de rebeldía: separarse del esposo alcohólico y abusador). Mucho plano fijo con personajes hablando al lente, aunque quedé medio harto con tanto paneo en la escena en la que el padre habla con la tía en el restaurante. Fuera de eso, me gustó mucho la manera pausada en la que se va contando la historia y como se desenvuelve cada conflicto.

Puntuación: 3.5 de 5.

#Bales2025FilmChallenge of March 31: a father

父ありき [Chichi ariki / There Was a Father] (Yasujirō Ozu, 1942)

A father, and proud teacher, raises his son alone. When the boy is an adult and a teacher himself, the elder's traditional concept of societal hierarchy affirms the balance between the generations.
