Bottle and String With Wet Clothes: On Yasujiro Ozu’s “Tokyo Story” and “Floating Weeds”
Abstract
Pierzchała tries to show inseparability of such aesthetic tricks as editing, camera movement, construction of the represented world with ethics and the message of Ozu’s film. The issue of cultural diversity of the Orient and the Occident in the area of film poetics is also raised here. European and American directors usually aim at blurring the line between the viewer and the represented world. Ozu’s aspiration to have a connection „with reality” is rather expressed in the techniques to reduce a surplus of meanings, and not in „realism”.
