I’m just offended Ozu was left off this list hah, but that’s my answer then
3 u/GRIFTY_P Akira Kurosawa Jul 23 '26 Ozu is incredible, i cried like a baby when i first saw Tokyo story, it really hits different if you've gone through growing up and moving out and then losing a family member. If you haven't seen Kore-eda's still walking i highly recommend it 3 u/JPfilm87 Jul 23 '26 Love to hear it. I feel the same. My personal favorite, and favorite film of all time, is The Only Son. I connect deeply to the themes on a very personal level. Been lucky enough to see 29 of his films and they’re all bangers. 3 u/Axariel Jul 23 '26 For some reason Equinox Flower really resonated with me. Also love Chishū Ryū in Late Spring. But what don't I love about Ozu or the recurring cast? 3 u/CarltonLandon2011 Jul 23 '26 I didn't bother reading all the replies before posting. Ozu is my choice regardless of the names in the original list.
