Yasujiro Ozu – The Poet of Everyday Life
In this episode of Filmmaking Giants, we step into the quiet rooms of Yasujiro Ozu, whose simple domestic dramas like Tokyo Story reveal the depth of ordinary existence. Using low, meditative camera angles and a style stripped of ornament, Ozu created films that radiate tenderness and melancholy. His portraits of family life, generational change, and impermanence make him one of cinema’s most profound philosophers. Ozu’s work reminds us that in the stillness of daily life, eternity whispers.
