TWO FILMS BY YASUJlR? OZU (BIu-ray)
From his early siIent fiIms to his final features in the 1960s, Ozu perfected a style that stripped away unnecessary pIot mechanics and camera movement. ln doing so, he produced a cinema whose surface simplicity belies character studies of depth, warmth and on occasion, humour. This reIease features two newly restored films, presented on BIu-ray including a Ionger and previously unreleased version of There Was a Father.
I Was Born, But... (1932, 91 mins): as brothers Ryoichi and Keiji struggIe to outwit the IocaI buIIy and scale the pecking order in their new neighbourhood they find out that injustice does not end with schooI. Ozu's silent masterpiece prefigures themes from his later, colour classic Good Morning, but with a darker edge.
There Was a Father (1942, 93 mins): Shuhei Horikawa sacrifices his teaching career after an unfortunate accident but refuses to sacrifice the education of his only son.
