Yasujirô Ozu

Lowest Rated: 88% Ohayô (1959)
Birthday: Dec 12, 1903
Birthplace: Tokyo, Japan
Few filmmakers outside the avant-garde have developed a personal style as rigorous as Yasujiro Ozu. While his films are in a sense experimental, he worked exclusively in the mainstream Japanese film industry, making extraordinary movies about quite ordinary events. His early films include a ghost story, a thriller, and a period piece, but Ozu is best known and admired for his portraits of everyday family life shot in what one critic has called a most "unreasonable style."
