This is not only a masterpiece, but as well a real miracle of cinema., 19 November 2002
10/10
Author: RŸdiger Tomczak (shomingeki) from Berlin

Bakushu, even if it is a less known film than Tokyo monogatari or Banshun, is one of his greatest films. In its narrative style what means this films doesn´t tell a story but offers a lot of possible stories, Bakushu is one of the very seldom films which deserves the often misused or used-off definition "Avantgarde". Ozu was one of the greatest poets of cinema, but as well one of the greatest philosophers of that art. That philosophy was never written down, but it can be found in his films. This is not only a masterpiece, but as well a real miracle of cinema. In its construction, its editing, its soundtrack, Bakushu gives an idea of Ozu s incredibly cinematic intelligence. This film is fifty years old, but it still deals with the future of cinema.
