In the late 20s and early 30s, Yasujiro Ozu was working steadily for Shochiku studios, honing his craft on dozens of silent films in various genres, from romantic melodramas to college comedies to gangster pictures - and, of course, movies about families. In these 3 droll domestic films - Tokyo Chorus, I Was Born But..., and Passing Fancy, presented here with all-new scores by renowned silent film composer Donald Sosin - Ozu movingly and humorously depicts middle-class struggles and the resentments between children and parents, establishing the emotional and aesthetic delicacy with which he would transform the landscape of cinema.
