In Japan and much of Europe, Ozu is widely considered to be one of
the finest film directors who ever lived. While Ozu has a strong
reputation in the West, his films are not as well-known or widely
appreciated in the U.S. as they are elsewhere. A notable exception
to this trend is film critic Roger Ebert, who recently wrote that
Ozu is one of his "three or four" favorite directors. Also, moving
beyond the view that Tokyo Story is a masterful exception in the
Ozu canon, Ebert sees Ozu's films as "nearly always of the same
high quality." Ozu International will reflect on Ebert's view of
Ozu by arguing that this director deserves broader recognition in
the U.S., and that his entire canon is worthy of serious study.
With the recent release of more than 15 Ozu DVDs in the Criterion
Collection, covering every phase of his career at least in part
(including silent films, black-and-white talkies, and color films),
Ozu International helps to fill a lingering gap in English-language
scholarship on Ozu by giving this new generation of scholars a
book-length forum to explore new critical perspectives on an
unfairly neglected director. Contributions include specialists in
Japanese culture, academics from a range of disciplines, and
professional films critics.
