Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
His spare, slow-moving films are not for all tastes, but once the rhythms are accepted, Ozu's work offers a unique emotional experience.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
Sooner or later, everyone who loves movies comes to Ozu. He is the quietest and gentlest of directors, the most humanistic, the most serene. But the emotions that flow through his films are strong and deep.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
Ozu is, however, very special in his technique, which by the end of his career, had become very modest, lucid and lovely.
– Roger Greenspun,
New York Times,
9 May 2005
fresh:
The sheer beauty of Ozu's exquisite (and typically eccentric) compositions and the expressive use of sound tell all you need know about the characters, their emotions and relationships.
