For cinephiles and newcomers alike, THE OZU DIARIES offers an intimate window into the world of Yasujiro Ozu, the Japanese master whose family dramas have moved audiences for generations. Through a rich collection of rare materials from the Ozu family and Shochiku Studio Archive—including personal diaries, letters, drawings, and photographs—Academy Award-nominee Daniel Raim traces Ozu’s journey from a rebellious young cinephile in Tokyo’s rapidly modernizing 1920s to the cinematic poet behind masterworks like Tokyo Story and An Autumn Afternoon.
