BFI Two Films by Yasujiro Ozu [Blu-ray]
68.98 AUD
From his early silent films to his final features in the 1960s, Ozu perfected a style that stripped away unnecessary plot mechanics and camera movement. In doing so, he produced a cinema whose surface simplicity belies character studies of depth, warmth and on occasion, humour. This release features two newly restored films, presented on Blu-ray including a longer and previously unreleased version of There Was a Father. I Was Born, But... (1932, 91 mins): as brothers Ryoichi and Keiji struggle to outwit the local bully and scale the pecking order in their new neighbourhood they find out that injustice does not end with school. Ozu's silent masterpiece prefigures themes from his later, colour classic Good Morning, but with a darker edge. There Was a Father (1942, 93 mins): Shuhei Horikawa sacrifices his teaching career after an unfortunate accident but refuses to sacrifice the education of his only son. Extras Newly restored and presented in High Definition Newly recorded audio commentaries on both films by writer and film critic Adrian Martin **FIRST PRESSING ONLY** Illustrated booklet with an essay on I Was Born, But... by silent film expert Bryony Dixon, writing on There Was a Father by Tony Rayns, and notes on his score for I Was Born, But... by composer Ed Hughes

Upon arrival, she recalls her childhood in Mindif. The only child of a sole white family, the Dalens, France forms a strong connection with their 'houseboy' Protée (Isaach de Bankolé). A quiet and observant child but still too innocent to fully understand the simmering sexual and racial tensions in the adults around her, France finds her idyl shattered when a plane full of strangers makes an emergency landing nearby.Claire Denis' quasi-autobiographical exploration of the colonial power struggle in Cameroon is the first in a series of her films exploring French colonialism and racism in West Africa. A Palme D'Or nominee, Chocolat is a remarkably assured directorial debut featuring all the tension, subtlety and sophistication that characterise Claire Denis' films, brought to life in a dazzling new 4K restoration.Extras:Extras Restored in 4K and presented in High Definition Rerelease trailer Other extras TBC
