An invitation to travel through 6 color masterpieces by Ozu
It was in 1958 with Fleurs d'équinoxe that Yasujiro Ozu made his transition to color. While abandoning black and white did not profoundly change his cinematographic grammar, it allowed him to enrich his formalist vision of staging and reach the peak of his art! Offered for the first time in a 6 Blu-ray Collector's Box Set (including the previously unreleased Herbes flottantes and Dernier Caprice ), this complete color collection is composed of six feature films restored in HD, 2K or 4K.
