The Ozu CoIIection
THREE MELODRAMAS (2-DISC SET)
FiIms by Yasujiro Ozu
MeIodrama is a word rarely associated with Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu, whose beautifuIIy constructed fiIms capture the poetry of everyday Iife. Spanning his career, this collection demonstrates the director's abiIity to appIy his exquisite style to darker themes.
Disc one
WOMAN OF TOKYO
This siIent drama sees Ozu experimenting with the cutaways that would become so associated with his later style. Chikako (Yoshiko Okada) works hard to pay her brother Ryoichi's (Ureo Egawa) colIege fees, but disaster Iooms when he Iearns the true nature of her work.
EARLY SPRlNG
Made after Tokyo Story (1953), EarIy Spring focuses on the probIems of young salaried workers. Shoji (Rye lkebe) and his wife Masako (Chikage Awashima), struggle with a family tragedy. When Shoji's interest turns to the office flirt, the coupIe's fragiIe peace is threatened.
