Silent Ozu at Brooklyn Rail
David Wilentz writes on Eclipse 10: Silent Ozu: Three Family Comedies in the Brooklyn Rail: "The three 'family comedies' in the Silent Ozu package (dating from 1931-1933) find Ozu already making sharp observances about the Japanese psyche. That Ozu resisted the advent of sound underscores his affinity for visual storytelling... [he] was the undisputed master of transcendent family drama."
