Ozu in Color

Every Frame a Painting returns to explain how Ozu learned colour

Ozu in Color

Taylor Ramos and Tony Zhou take apart Yasujiro Ozu’s move into colour, which began with Equinox Flower in 1958 and took him a couple of films to work out. Their argument is that colour became one more way to build the pattern his films are made of — how alike two people can be, how one room resembles another, how a life keeps coming round to the same shape. Made for TCM.
