Domestic change observed from floor level. Ozu kept the camera low and still, filmed families at the moment a marriage or a death rearranges them, and refused almost every conventional device for signalling emotion.
Signature
- Low, static camera at tatami height.
- Pillow shots — empty spaces held between scenes.
- Characters addressing near the lens in conversation.
- Generational change as the only real event.
