The Cinema of Ozu According to Kiju Yoshida is a fascinating documentary that offers a unique glimpse into the world of Yasujirō Ozu, one of Japan's most influential filmmakers. Yoshida, who was part of a generation that initially distanced itself from Ozu's humanist approach, presents a layered reflection on Ozu's work and legacy. The tone is contemplative, almost reverent at times, as Yoshida revisits the filmmaker's techniques and themes. You can really feel the tension between the old school and the new wave in Japanese cinema during the '60s. It’s a meditative piece that allows you to appreciate both the subtlety of Ozu’s craftsmanship and the evolution of film language in Japan.
