{"product_id":"ozu-international-wayne-stein-9781501320040","title":"Ozu International","description":"In Japan and much of Europe, Ozu is widely considered to be one of the finest film directors who ever lived. While Ozu has a strong reputation in the West, his films are not as well-known or widely appreciated in the U.S. as they are elsewhere. A notable exception to this trend is film critic Roger Ebert, who recently wrote that Ozu is one of his \"three or four+? favorite directors. Also, moving beyond the view that \u003ci\u003eTokyo Story\u003c\/i\u003e is a masterful exception in the Ozu canon, Ebert sees Ozu's films as \"nearly always of the same high quality.+? \u003ci\u003eOzu International\u003c\/i\u003e will reflect on Ebert's view of Ozu by arguing that this director deserves broader recognition in the U.S., and that his entire canon is worthy of serious study. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the recent release of more than 15 Ozu DVDs in the Criterion Collection, covering every phase of his career at least in part (including silent films, black-and-white talkies, and color films), \u003ci\u003eOzu International\u003c\/i\u003e helps to fill a lingering gap in English-language scholarship on Ozu by giving this new generation of scholars a book-length forum to explore new critical perspectives on an unfairly neglected director. Contributions include specialists in Japanese culture, academics from a range of disciplines, and professional films critics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wayne Stein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501320041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501320040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.46d","brand":"Wayne Stein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985962107135,"sku":"9781501320040","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2df38a3f-2d8d-4609-90cf-e49c0fbe0321.jpg?v=1683280560","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ozu-international-wayne-stein-9781501320040","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
