The Ozu Collection – The Gangster Films

The latest volume in the BFI’s ongoing releases of the works of Japanese master Yasujiro Ozu (Tokyo Story) focuses on his crime films. These rare, silent works mix the thrills of western filmmaking with compositions that served as a forerunner to his renowned, mature, post-war style.
