Abstract

"Gosses de Tokyo, Le Fils unique, Récit d'un propriétaire, Été précoce, Voyage à Tokyo et Bonjour constituent le cœur de cette étude dédiée au cinéaste japonais Yasujirô Ozu. La singularité remarquable de son œuvre - sa virtuosité formelle, sa cohérence thématique - est bien souvent abordée à partir d'une dissociation entre son style et son intérêt persistant pour la famille dans le Japon qui lui était contemporain. Confronter la profondeur de la pensée du cinéma par le cinéma dont témoigne la réalisation d'Ozu au traitement de la précarité des communautés familiales permet de saisir la portée éthique de ses films. On y retrouve autant l'attention d'Ozu pour la vie collective que le soin qu'il porte aux potentialités expressives du cinéma, à commencer par sa disposition emblématique à (re)produire le mouvement. Procédant au désœuvrement de l'expressivité de son médium, Ozu révèle la capacité du cinéma de donner lieu à des mondes à partir de leur teneur sensible : c'est cette figure de l'impuissance du cinéma que retrace ce livre."

Abstract

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.

Abstract

With a new introduction, acclaimed director and screenwriter Paul Schrader revisits and updates his contemplation of slow cinema over the past fifty years. Unlike the style of psychological realism, which dominates film, the transcendental style expresses a spiritual state by means of austere camerawork, acting devoid of self-consciousness, and editing that avoids editorial comment. This seminal text analyzes the film style of three great directors-Yasujiro Ozu, Robert Bresson, and Carl Dreyer-and posits a common dramatic language used by these artists from divergent cultures. The new edition updates Schrader's theoretical framework and extends his theory to the works of Andrei Tarkovsky (Russia), Béla Tarr (Hungary), Theo Angelopoulos (Greece), and Nuri Bilge Ceylan (Turkey), among others. This key work by one of our most searching directors and writers is widely cited and used in film and art classes. With evocative prose and nimble associations, Schrader consistently urges readers and viewers alike to keep exploring the world of the art film.
