Directed by Yasujiro Ozu

The films of Yasujiro Ozu examine universal life issues: the cycles of birth and death, the transition from childhood to adulthood, and the tension between tradition and modernity. Once referred to as the poet of family life and capable of making great drama from the most ordinary of circumstances, Ozu's films collectively amount to one of the most profound visions of family life in the history of cinema.
