Question 3 |

A | Kon Ichikawa |
B | Akira Kurosawa |
C | Kenji Mizoguchi |
D | Nagisa Ôshima |
E | Yasujirô Ozu |
Question 3 :
Answer: E. Yasujirô Ozu
Ozu’s innovative Tatami-style camera setup consists of a rigorous use of static camera positioned only a few feet from floor. Ozu felt that this camera angle best reflected Japanese life. Ozu’s most famous film, Tokyo Story (1953), is generally considered by critics and film buffs alike to be his "masterpiece" and is regarded as one of the best films ever made. It is also my favorite film of all time. The camera moves just once in the entire film. He also turned out such classics of Japanese film as I Was Born, But... (1932), The Flavor of Green Tea Over Rice (1952), Floating Weeds (1959) and An Autumn Afternoon (1962).
