The Council on East Asian Studies at Yale University and the Cinema
at the Whitney are pleased to present
OZU Yasujiro Retrospective
Universally considered to be one of the great masters of Japanese (or
any) cinema, Ozu Yasujiro had a remarkable career that crossed five
decades. This weekly retrospective, co-sponsored by the Cinema at
the Whitney, will provide a rare opportunity to see films from all
periods of Ozu's career, drawing attention to his playful humor as
well as his formal genius and profound understanding of shifting
family relations. All films will be screened in new 35mm prints.
All screenings are at the Whitney Humanities Center Auditorium, 53
Wall Street.
