Director: Yasujiro Ozu
Description: Combining three prevalent genres of the day -- the student comedy, the salaryman film, and the domestic drama -- Ozu created this warmhearted family comedy, and demonstrated that he was truly coming into his own as a cinema craftsman. The setup is simple: Low wage-earning dad Okajima is depending on his bonus, and so are his wife and children, yet payday doesn't exactly go as planned. Exquisite and economical, Ozu's film alternates between brilliantly mounted comic sequences and heartrending working-class realities.

Tokyo Chorus
Yasujiro Ozu, 1931
I Was Born, But...
Yasujiro Ozu, 1932
One of Ozu's most popular films, I Was Born, But... is a blithe portrait of the financial and psychological toils of one family, as told from the rascally point of view of a couple of stubborn little boys.
Passing Fancy
Yasujiro Ozu, 1933
The first of many films featuring the endearing single-dad Kihachi (played wonderfully by Takeshi Sakamoto), Passing Fancy is a humorous and heartfelt study of a close, if fraught, father-son relationship.
