Considered by many film critics and scholars as a master of
Japanese Cinema, director Ozu Yasujiro still inspires filmmakers
both within and outside of Japan. With fifteen never before
published chapters in English by contributors from North America,
Europe, and Japan, Reorienting Ozu explores the Japanese director's
oeuvre and his lasting impact on global art cinema. Exploring major
theoretical frameworks that characterize Ozu studies, chapters
consider the various cultural factors that influenced the
director's cinematic output, such as the anxiety of middleclass
Japan in the 1930s, the censorship imposed by the US-occupation
after World War II, and women's rights in Ozu's late work such as
Tokyo Twilight (1957). Ultimately, chapters illuminate Ozu's
influence on the directors of Japan and beyond. With the recent
restoration and re-release of Ozu's early and late films, this
volume provides an opportunity to examine not only the auteur's
major works but also the relationshipsboth cultural and
aestheticthat are forged among directors across the world.
