Tokyo Story, Yasujirō Ozu (1953)

SUBLIME CINEMA #648 - GOOD MORNING

Ozu’s films were characterized by the relentless use of 50mm lenses and what cinematographer Yuharu Atsuta referred to as ‘tatami shots’ - table level static angles of domestic scenes, meticulously composed and coordinated by tone, shape and color. The angle and lack of movement have a flattening effect onto the image; Ozu’s films often look like unsettlingly symmetrical print work.

The narratives puzzle together in similar ways: circuitous tapestries of the private lives of ordinary people, stories that are profoundly observant and gently emotional.

Semester officially over. This shit was hard. Not so much school, but life in general. Really, this past month has been a shit. Started November vomiting, ended a two year relationship, checked myself into the ER (got a painful hernia), grandpa’s in the hospital, my car starts when it wants to, and Spanish homework. BUT I got four A’s and one B. So that’s dope. The B was in Spanish... Also, King Krule made my end of year list.

Third week, semester #2. Already tired.
