Ozu v Avatar
Some interesting bits I took away from this:
“The most spectacular thing the movies ever had to offer (see Renoir, Ophüls, Ozu, Bresson… well, just keep seeing) is the human face as its mind alters or saddens.”
“The many open wounds in our society and our ongoing history are the symptoms of the way our arrogant loneliness has beaten at family. If you go to the films of Ozu, this is what you will see, and what you will have to carry away in your mind.”
