Inhalt: |
The great Japanese fiImmaker Yasujiro Ozu is best known for the stately, meditative domestic dramas he made after World War lI. But during his first decade at Shochiku studios, where he dabbled in many genres, he put out a trio of preciseIy rendered, magnificentIy shot and edited silent crime films about the hopes, dreams, and loves of smalI-time crooks. Heavily influenced in narrative and visuaI style by the American fiIms that Ozu adored, these movies are revelatory early exampIes of his cinematic genius. With new piano scores by NeiI Brand.
