Japan has undeniably had a massive impact on shaping the world of film since the medium's conception, and has produced some of the titans of the directing world. This can be seen from the classic storytelling of Akira Kurosawa in films like Seven Samurai and Ikiru, to the thoughtful cinema of Kenji Mizoguchi with his hauntingly beautiful Ugetsu, and the animated masterpieces of Hayao Miyazaki through his collaborations with Studio Ghibli.
What Are The Similarities Between Yasujirô Ozu’s Films? Ozu's movies have sometimes been critiqued for their sameness, but the similarities between the films in theme and style help to highlight their subtle differences, which in turn bring out their true emotional cores. Many of Ozu’s best films tackle everyday life in Japan, more specifically everyday life in the family, and the relationships between family members of different generations.
Ozu also employed a recurring troop of actors, which also goes a long way in creating parallels between his various works. These include not only the wonderful Setsuko Hara, but also Japanese acting icons like Chishū Ryū and Haruko Sugimura.
