New After Life DVD (and Ozu Video question)

[C.G. Rider]

Mr. Kerpan;
Not sure about the After Life DVD, but Ozu sometimes
lops off heads or tops of heads. He is
ultra-meticulous in his framing, though. I can
remember a shot from Akibiyori in particular, and
maybe something with the English teacher in Ohayo. But
check out Bordwell's Ozu book for more definitive
examples and interpretations.
