THE OZU DIARIES, directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Daniel Raim, is a cinematic journey that explores the inner world of Japanese master filmmaker Yasujirō Ozu, drawing from his private diaries, wartime notebooks, letters, interviews, photographs, and never-before-seen home movies. Through Ozu’s own words, combined with reflections from Kyoko Kagawa, Wim Wenders, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Tsai Ming-liang, and Luc Dardenne, the film traces how Ozu transformed personal loss and wartime trauma into enduring masterpieces such as Early Summer, Tokyo Story, and An Autumn Afternoon.
