Description de l'ouvrage :
• Offers an in-depth look into the notion of influence
• Introduces new theories about Ozu's effect on international directors
• Explores the new theoretical concept of sensibility

Considered by many film critics and scholars as a master of Japanese Cinema, director Ozu Yasujiro still inspires filmmakers both within and outside of Japan. With fifteen never before published chapters in English by contributors from North America, Europe, and Japan, Reorienting Ozu explores the Japanese director's oeuvre and his lasting impact on global art cinema. Exploring major theoretical frameworks that characterize Ozu studies, chapters consider the various cultural factors that influenced the director's cinematic output, such as the anxiety of middleclass Japan in the 1930s, the censorship imposed by the US-occupation after World War II, and women's rights in Ozu's late work such as Tokyo Twilight (1957). Ultimately, chapters illuminate Ozu's influence on the directors of Japan and beyond. With the recent restoration and re-release of Ozu's early and late films, this volume provides an opportunity to examine not only the auteur's major works but also the relationshipsboth cultural and aestheticthat are forged among directors across the world.

Revue de Presse :
"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 Yasujiross 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
