Review by Library Journal Review

The distinguished career of Yasujiro Ozu (Floating Weeds, Tokyo Story) began in 1927 and ended in 1962 after 53 films. The masterly director gets five of his later works (Early Spring, Tokyo Twilight, Equinox Flower, Late Autumn, and The End of Summer) combined in this economical but pictorially unrestored boxed set. Ozu's recurring theme of family dynamics is affectingly delved via quiet camerawork and unhurried pacing that emphasizes telling detail. For larger collections. (c) Copyright 2010.
