Yasujiro Ozu is one of the most written about film directors in film scholarship. Most of the film scholarship engages with the dialectic between modernity and tradition. Whether by adhering to traditionalist (or modernist) readings of Ozu films, or by actively challenging either perspective. This thesis seeks to problematize existing scholarship on Ozu (and film scholarship as a whole). The central aim is to challenge the dichotomy (and dualism) between content and form in film scholarship, specifically as it applies to Ozu. In this the aim is to use marginal aspects of Ozu's filmography to offer a perspective informed by context which melds both content and form into one.
Yasujiro Ozu è uno dei registi più studiati nella critica cinematografica. Gran parte della critica si concentra sulla dialettica tra modernità e tradizione, aderendo a interpretazioni tradizionaliste (o moderniste) dei film di Ozu, oppure sfidando attivamente entrambe le prospettive. Questa tesi si propone di problematizzare la critica esistente su Ozu (e sulla critica cinematografica in generale). L'obiettivo centrale è quello di mettere in discussione la dicotomia (e il dualismo) tra contenuto e forma nella critica cinematografica, in particolare per quanto riguarda Ozu. A tal fine, si intende utilizzare aspetti marginali della filmografia di Ozu per offrire una prospettiva contestualizzata che fonda contenuto e forma in un'unica entità.

Abstract
Yasujiro Ozu is one of the most written about film directors in film scholarship. Most of the film scholarship engages with the dialectic between modernity and tradition. Whether by adhering to traditionalist (or modernist) readings of Ozu films, or by actively challenging either perspective. This thesis seeks to problematize existing scholarship on Ozu (and film scholarship as a whole). The central aim is to challenge the dichotomy (and dualism) between content and form in film scholarship, specifically as it applies to Ozu. In this the aim is to use marginal aspects of Ozu's filmography to offer a perspective informed by context which melds both content and form into one.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
