With fifteen never before published chapters in English by contributors from North America, Europe, and Japan, \u003cem\u003eReorienting Ozu\u003c\/em\u003e explores the Japanese director's oeuvre and his lasting impact on global art cinema. Exploring major theoretical frameworks that characterize Ozu studies, chapters consider the various cultural factors that influenced the director's cinematic output, such as the anxiety of middleclass Japan in the 1930s, the censorship imposed by the US-occupation after World War II, and women's rights in Ozu's late work such as\u003cem\u003e Tokyo Twilight \u003c\/em\u003e(1957). Ultimately, chapters illuminate Ozu's influence on the directors of Japan and beyond. With the recent restoration and re-release of Ozu's early and late films, this volume provides an opportunity to examine not only the auteur's major works but also the\u003cbr\u003erelationships--both cultural and aesthetic--that are forged among directors across the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJinhee Choi\u003c\/strong\u003e is Reader in Film Studies at King's College London.
