Known for the gentle poetry of his domestic dramas and the consistency of his filmmaking style, Yasujirō Ozu is one of the most acclaimed Japanese directors of all time. Having directed over fifty films throughout his four-decade long career, Ozu remained remarkably consistent in both themes and technique: his films are often quiet domestic dramas, examining the complex dynamics of Japanese middle class families through a strict aesthetic formalism.
