Thanks for the reminder...bells are ringing, veils lifted, etc...I have read that his use of space and time is different than filmmakers "not bound by 'traditional'notions."Looking forward to a new discovery!
Follow Ups:
Point of clarification: By 'traditional', I mean to say the standard Hollywood norms of continuity filmmaking. Since many 'foreign' filmmakers got their first exposure to film via Hollywood movies ( this is not a slight against the contributions of Russian film), and have/had their film vocabulary shaped through osmosis that way, it is interesting when we see someone 'break' these 'rules'.Re: Ozu--his not-so-strict adherence to the standard notions of axes allows him some novel camera placements ( and subsequent editing of scenes/compositions together which would not otherwise exist ) which would normally be precluded from existence should notions of axis preservation be in full effect. His use of the camera is also interesting in another way, in that it creates the sense of a continuous space in existance beyond the frame, vis a vis the more hermetic filmic space of the traditional sense--in this he hearkens back to the traditional/original proscenium arch type framing of early film, albeit with greater sophistication.
Lots to enjoy!
