Ozu, trains and movement

[Michael Kerpan]

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).

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.

Dear colleagues,



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. 




Regards,
