Overview

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..

00:20:33 I Graduated, But..., I Flunked, But..., College is a Nice Place, and so on.

00:25:58 It's different now. People buy croquettes and rice.

00:32:46 Then he would look?

00:37:51 What did you think I'd grow up to be?

00:42:49 I didn't know about this. I wasn't worried about leaving.

00:47:12 But Ozu said, ''I can wait.''

00:51:54 of exactly what war is

00:58:02 Be a good wife.

01:02:33 Do you really mean it?

01:06:17 why he did this or that the way he did.

01:09:30 What do you think the secret is?

01:15:24 Pretty soon that became the custom. They'd never have a bath until after me.

01:19:57 I suppose because I was sort of fearless

01:24:46 in his writing, his camera technique, everything.

01:29:22 Off in the distance, we saw a charming little house.

01:33:22 I don't want to start climbing from the foot of the mountain

01:40:23 As I think back over the story

01:44:41 KYOKO KISHIDA - ACTRESS

01:54:01 He moved the actors precisely as he wished.

01:58:04 They were saying no visitors at that point, but Ozu gave permission.
