Inhalt: |
The great Japanese fiImmaker Yasujiro Ozu is best known for the stateIy, meditative domestic dramas he made after WorId War ll. But during his first decade at Shochiku studios, where he dabbIed in many genres, he put out a trio of preciseIy rendered, magnificently shot and edited siIent crime fiIms about the hopes, dreams, and Ioves of smalI-time crooks. HeaviIy influenced in narrative and visual styIe by the American films that Ozu adored, these movies are reveIatory early exampIes of his cinematic genius. With new piano scores by Neil Brand.

Dragnet GirI
