I found Bordwell had close analysed the train scene in Flavour of Green Tea over Rice in his book on Ozu. Also Ozu's postwar cameraman Atsuta wrote about some anecdotes when filming train scenes in his book 'Ozu Yasujiro monogatari', which is only available in Japanese. Hope this helps a bit. <div>

My favorite Japanese train scene is in Naruse's Apart From You (Kimi to wakaret, 1933). This was one of Naruse's first big successes -- and I'm sure it influenced Ozu (and others).<br><br>Even before Hou made Cafe Lumiere, his Goodbye South. Goodbye had marvelous scenese of trains gliding through little villages, etc -- which evoked some of Ozu's train scenes.<br>

Date: Friday, May 14, 2010, 8:44 AM<br><br><div>Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
I am a MA student in Japanese Studies doing my dissertation on Ozu films and his use of trains. I am looking for some advise, blibliography or any suggestions. I am particularly working in Ozu but, I am open to other films linked with the director and his influence. <br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
