Book Review: A must have!
Summary: 5 Stars
Yasujiro Ozu, one of the five greatest masters of the Japanese cinema (together with Kurosawa, Mizoguchi, Hiroshi Teshigara, Kobayashi and Kaneto Shindo ) expressed in December, 1953 this wise and revealing reflection : "What do I pretend to show with a personage? Well, a word: humanism. The play that doesn't transmit humanism has not value. It's about the task of all art. In the cinema, an emotion without humanism is faulty. A person with perfect facial expression is not necessarily enabled to express humanism. In fact, an expression of emotion usually prejudices the expression of the humanism. To know control the emotion and at the meantime to express the humanism though this control ; that's the goal of any director".
What else may be added or said about the emotional impact and vital transcendence of this poet of the cinema?
A text recommended for young directors cinema lover and great audiences.
