Tokyo-ga

Wim Wenders' choice

In this tribute to director Yasujiro Ozu, Wim Wenders travels to Tokyo to find the city of the Japanese master.
Excerpt of Wenders’s narrating voice: “If there were still sanctuaries in our century… if there was something like a holy treasure of cinema, for me, that would be the work of Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu. He made 54 films. Silent movies in the 1920s, black and white films in the 1930s and 1940s and finally color films until his death on the 12th December 1963, on his 60th birthday.”
