Episode 26: Ozu - Part 1
Description
Hosts Rosalie Lewis, a writer for FThisMovie.com, and Tim Rosenberger -- a 25 Years Later film writer, a blogger, and YouTuber -- travel to Japan to discuss three early silents from famed Japanese writer and director Yasujirō Ozu. While Ozu would become known for his films examining familiar relationships and dynamics in post-war Japan, his early films were of different genres, such as crime. He still made films like dramadies that were closer to the work he would become known for in later years. Tim and Rosalie touch on Walk Cheerfully (1930) and That Night's Wife (1930) from the Criterion Collection's Eclipse Series 42: Silent Ozu—Three Crime Dramas and Tokyo Chorus (1931) from Criterion's Eclipse Series 10: Silent Ozu—Three Family Comedies. All three films are also available on The Criterion Channel.
