Directed by acclaimed Yasujiro Ozu in 1949, the movie is a family drama set in post war Japan.I won't go into details about plot here, but really wanted to talk about the visuals of the movie. Ozu's camera work is genius and compositionally inspiring. I say this because in the entire movie he never once zooms or pans the camera. Each frame is shot at a very low angle. As a result, some frames are just still shots of a scene sans actors. This film is definitely a good precedence for my photography.
