Publisher Comments:Yasujiro Ozu's 1953 Tokyo Storyis regularly rated among the top films ever made and will soon be reissued on DVD. Ozu and cowriter Kogo Noda viewed the script as literature; once completed, it was little changed during filming. Here is a translation of the Japanese screenplay to Tokyo Story, with critical observations by Donald Richie on Ozu's filmmaking, a filmography, and twenty stills. Students of screenwriting will learn much from Ozu's lean approach, while film lovers will treasure this unique keepsake of a great cinematic achievement. Yasujiro Ozu(19031963) was one of Japan's greatest film directors. Kogo Noda(18931968), an influential screenwriter, was a frequent Ozu -collaborator. Donald Richieis the preeminent Western authority on Japanese film. Review:"An unexpected treat, letting readers with little or no written Japanese understand quickly why, in Japan, the scripts of Ozu and his collaborator Kogo Noda are regarded as independent works of art." Christopher Tate, Kyoto Journal Review:"Donald Riche--the leading interpreter of Japanese cinema to the English-speaking world--has produced an elegant and eloquent translation of one of the masterpieces of world cinema. The subtleties of Ozu's film are matched by the nuances of this splendid rendering."--David Desser, editor of Ozu's Tokyo Story (Cambridge Film Handbooks Series) Review:"An unexpected treat, letting readers with little or no written Japanese understand quickly why, in Japan, the scripts of Ozu and his collaborator Kogo Noda are regarded as independent works of art." Christopher Tate, Kyoto Journal Review:"An event to cherish. Donald Richie, our greatest commentator on Japanese cinema, gives us a loving translation of the most beautiful Japanese film ever made."--Stephen Prince, author of The Warrior's Camera: The Cinema of Akira Kurosawa About the AuthorYasujiro Ozu (1903-63) was one of Japan's greatest film directors.
