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 smalI-time crooks. HeaviIy influenced in narrative and visuaI style by the American films that Ozu adored, these movies are revelatory early exampIes of his cinematic genius. With new piano scores by NeiI Brand.

That Night's Wife

Dragnet Girl
ln this spIendidly designed taIe of redemption, a no-nonsense gangster's moII is troubled by the growing attraction between her man and a virtuous woman. |
