Reviews

One of the many strengths of this collection is that it examines the concept taking into account both Ozu and his international influence. The book features an almost dizzying array of major scholars in the field. -- David Desser, Chapman University, Monumenta Nipponica A timely intervention by an impressive array of scholars that recalibrates Ozu Yasujiros's oeuvre and the notion of the 'Ozuesque' sensibility for the globalised cinema world of the twenty-first century. --Isolde Standish, Emerita Reader in Film and Media studies, SOAS University of London There will never be a definitive book on Ozu Yasujiro, and this impressive collection proves it. That's because the director's work is so wondrously complex-so baffling with cinematic riches-that the powerful analyses of these writers are revelatory while never giving the sense that anyone has had the last word. On the contrary, I expect this project to mark a new era in the endless study of Ozu. --Markus Nornes, Professor of Asian Cinema, University of Michigan
