Regarded by critics and filmmakers alike as one of the world's greatest directors, Yasujiro Ozu has been praised for his deliberate and striking visual style. After his directorial debut in 1927 he went on to direct 55 films, before his death from cancer in 1963. Largely unappreciated during his lifetime, it is only relatively recently that Ozu has come to be considered as one of the best filmmakers that the world has ever seen.

This second volume of key works from Japan's greatest director has been digitally re-mastered using the best available source materials and includes an insightful audio commentary for Record of a Tenement Gentleman by leading UK film critic Derek Malcolm.
