Synopsis

An extremely lovely tribute to Ozu, on the 20th anniversary of his death. It uses a combination of footage from vintage films and new material (both interviews and Ozu-related locations) shot by Ozu’s long-time camera-man (who came out of retirement to work on this). Surprisingly (or perhaps not), it focuses less on Ozu’s accomplishments as a film-maker than on his impact on the lives of the people he worked with. One of the best films of this type I’ve ever seen. –Michael Kerpan

Really, really loved this. My favorite documentary about a filmmaker I've yet seen. I guess the truest measurement of its success is that I feel it actually gave me insight into Ozu and his craft.
