Description

In Japan and much of Europe; Ozu is widely considered to be one of the finest film directors who ever lived. While Ozu has a strong reputation in the West; his films are not as well-known or widely appreciated in the U.S. as they are elsewhere. A notable exception to this trend is film critic Roger Ebert; who recently wrote that Ozu is one of his "three or fourrdquo; favorite directors. Also; moving beyond the view that Tokyo Story is a masterful exception in the Ozu canon; Ebert sees Ozus films as "nearly always of the same high quality.rdquo; Ozu International will reflect on Eberts view of Ozu by arguing that this director deserves broader recognition in the U.S.; and that his entire canon is worthy of serious study. With the recent release of more than 15 Ozu DVDs in the Criterion Collection; covering every phase of his career at least in part (including silent films; black-and-white talkies; and color films); Ozu International helps to fill a lingering gap in English-language scholarship on Ozu by giving this new generation of scholars a book-length forum to explore new critical perspectives on an unfairly neglected director. Contributions include specialists in Japanese culture; academics from a range of disciplines; and professional films critics.
