| Contains the following three films by renowned Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu:(click any of the above titles for details)
The origins of the legend that is Yasujiro Ozu lie in his deceptively quiet but dramatically poignant films. Having started his career in the silent era, he gradually grew his prodigious talent through the era of talkies and into the technological age of color cinematography. This is the third box set of his films, containing his first two color films.
"Tokyo Twilight" (1957) was his last black and white film and focused on family disintegration; it is also his darkest masterpiece. Two adult sisters return to the family home and discover their long missing mother living with another man, leading to a destructive path of despair and isolation.
"Equinox Flower" (1958) is his first foray into color cinema and is a gentle observation of international conflict between a father and his daughter over the impending unapproved marriage.
"Good Morning" (1959) is an update on his earlier silent film "I Was Born, But..." (1932), focusing on the impact of western culture and the decline of traditional values amongst the youth of post-war Japan. It is a sparkling and lively portrait of divergent shades of humanity.
Digitally restored and re-mastered from the best available materials, this collectible set features newly-created subtitles, original theatrical trailers, restoration documentaries, and film notes by film critic Doug Cummings.
