This article is littered with inaccuracies, including its statement-as-fact that Ozu\’s career began with a short film. Ozu never made anything but features. The most glaring discrepancy is his assertion that the youngest daughter went to Tokyo with her parents, as David mentions above. A decent list, but the fundamental errors make the whole piece difficult to respect.

I understand that it\’s insanely hard to try to narrow down Ozu\’s filmography into 5 essential films but I would\’ve really liked to see An Autumn Afternoon on there. He was a director that only got better with age and his last movie was unsurprisingly his best one.

I really love There Was a Father.

Kyoko obviously doesn\’t accompany her parents on their trip to Tokyo in "Tokyo Story," as is erroneously mentioned here. That would be a VERY different movie.

"Early Summer" is my absolute favourite Ozu film. It encapsulates the themes of his entire career perfectly.

Are you mad?! "Good Morning" is so essential and different from "I Was Born But…"
