IRRESTHREE FILMS BY YOSUJIRO OZU [BLU-RAY] REGION B

Product & Description

This year marks the 120th anniversary of Japanese filmmaker Yasujirō Ozu’s birth. From his early silent films to his final features in the 1960s, Ozu perfected a style that stripped away unnecessary plot mechanics and camera movement. In doing so, he produced a cinema whose surface simplicity belies character studies of depth, warmth and on occasion, humour. 

This new set features three newly restored films, all presented on Blu-ray in the UK for the first time:

Dragnet Girl (1933, 101 mins)

Sweet-faced Tokiko is an ordinary typist by day, but come nightfall she’s a fun-loving gangster’s moll. When her  boyfriend strays, Tokiko is forced to reassess her life. Hugely popular when it was released, Ozu’s Dragnet Girlremains one of his most enduring silent films. Featuring a score by Ed Hughes.

Record of a Tenement Gentleman (1947, 71 mins)

Kohei, a boy who has been abandoned by his father, develops a relationship with a widow, Tane. Although she initially  resists the child, the pair begin to develop a bond amid the turbulence of post-war Tokyo.

A Hen in the Wind (1948, 84 mins)

In a Japan recently devastated by war, a devoted, near-destitute mother turns to prostitution to pay for her son’s  medical care after he falls dangerously ill.
