Yasujiro Ozu (1903-1963) was one of directors that lead the Japanese film industry's output following [[World War II]]. Along with [[Akira Kurosawa]] and [[Kenji Mizoguchi]], Ozu's films analyze the conflict between the system of democracy imposed on Japan by the West immediately after the war and the lingering pre-war feudalism. While his peers used medieval Japan as the backdrop for the majority of their films, Ozu set his scope upon the modern era. His post-WWII films are known for examining the same subject, the domestic affairs of the bourgeois family; the movies he filmed before the war study the social struggles of Japan's lower-class denizens.▼

* ''An Autumn Afternoon'' (1962)
* [[Author Filibuster]]: Subverted. Ozu's goal when making his movies was to never manipulate any aspect of the film to explicitly suggest his attitudes towards the subject, hence why he abandoned many of the camera and editing techniques that he believed attributed to him making any sort of statement to the audience.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Chishu Ryu and Setsuko Hara being most notable among the number of performers that consistently appeared in his films, often playing similar characters.
* [[Signature Shot]]: Several:
** Shot/reverse-shots used for many dialogue scenes between two of his characters.
