My Top Five Ozu

I can't stop thinking about the films of Yasujiro Ozu. Everyone should see at least a few of his films. I'm not saying a total conversion is necessary, but for those of you wary of trying something new, or Japanese cinema in general, here are my top five Ozu films you should see.

1. Tokyo Story

2. Late Spring

3. I was Born But...

4. An Autumn Afternoon

5. Tokyo Twilight

These aren't necessarily my top five Ozu films, for the record, I'd have trouble making up a top ten, but I assure you these are all films that show off the great director's many facets. Enjoy.
