I don't remember how many times I've watched this, but each time I am reminded of the joy of watching Ozu's masterpieces. Thank you.

As much as I love Kurosawa and Mizoguchi, Ozu always intrigued me the most. I feel he understands the human condition more than any other filmmaker.

YASUJIRO OZU is the greatest film director of all time.

I heard on a BBC podcast about Tokyo Story that referring to someone as a "tofu maker" is actually quite a big compliment in Japanese culture as the art of tofu making it considered a very challenging skill to master.

Thanks for the TOFU! Respect to Yasujiro Ozu. R.I.P.

Oh my god, what a wonderful homage...you made me cry. Thank you!

I watch this video often to calm my mind. This brings me tears I don't know why, maybe because Ozu's films connect with me on a deeper level.

全てのワンショットがまるで絵画のよう。
構図が凄すぎて、こんな映画は世界広しと言えど類を見ない。

A beautiful video. I’ve been watching Ozu films for the first time, in the last week and a half or so. He has quickly become one of my favorite ever directors. I long for a quiet life of peace and solitude, and seeing his films is just a nice and pleasant experience. Doesn’t crowd your head with drawn-out exposition, no blockbuster movie type-explosions. Just quiet meditations upon the human condition. Life is simple in an Ozu film, as it should be.

I have noticed that so many famous Japanese art like Ozu, Ghibli, Joe Hisaishi, and most animes and music have this bitter-sweet emotion which really hits our heart. I think this nostalgic bitter-sweet aesthetic is the main philosophy/beauty of Japan.

A very good film.Thank you for your love to Ozu.

[thomasscottcraig]

thank you.... and if you all get a chance... be sure to watch the movie "Departures". It is a tender and beautiful  story... and great cello music....

[Daniel-Rosa.]

Just watched it again (have been doing so regularly) and noticed I always finish with a light humid weight in my eyes.

[dajonbradford]

You've accomplished a beautiful tribute, visually and audibly, I hope it will encourage people to watch Ozu films!

[jannsse]

Absolutely marvelous! Thanks a lot for this wonderful tribute towards one of the greatest directors of all time.

Dude, the fact that you put a Joe Hisaishi piece made this video so emotional. I was holding my tears until 3:50, I couldn't hold it anymore. That part of the song match perfectly with that image so much, it just hits hard. Thank you for this masterpiece, thank you very much.
