{"product_id":"ozus-anti-cinema-kiju-yoshida-9781929280278","title":"Ozu's Anti-Cinema: Volume 49","description":"Yoshida starts his award-winning \u003ci\u003eOzu's Anti-Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e with a story about his trip to Ozu's deathbed. Yoshida writes that a dying Ozu whispered to him twice, as if speaking to himself, \"Cinema is drama, not accident.\" These cryptic last words troubled Yoshida for decades, and throughout this book he examines Ozu's films and tries to uncover what Ozu really meant. \u003ci\u003eOzu's Anti-Cinema \u003c\/i\u003econcerns Ozu's films, but it is also Yoshida's manifesto on films and filmmaking. In other words, this book is Yoshida's personal journey into Ozu's thoughts on filmmaking and, simultaneously, into his own thoughts on the nature of cinema. Every page displays the sensibility of one artist discussing another--this is probably a book that only a filmmaker could write. Within Yoshida's luminous prose lies a finely tuned, rigorous analysis of Ozu's films, which have rarely been engaged as closely and personally as here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kiju Yoshida\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1929280270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781929280278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e U of M Center for Japanese Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2004 pg. 1478","brand":"Kiju Yoshida","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44042733453567,"sku":"9781929280278","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a660106-ef52-4b1f-927c-cefcf8c640ca.jpg?v=1684963215","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ozus-anti-cinema-kiju-yoshida-9781929280278","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
