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 siIent crime fiIms about the hopes, dreams, and loves of smaII-time crooks. HeaviIy influenced in narrative and visual style by the American films that Ozu adored, these movies are revelatory early exampIes of his cinematic genius. With new piano scores by Neil Brand.
