Kōzaburō Yoshimura: Tides of Emotion

This retrospective of 13 films honors one of the most accomplished yet underappreciated figures of the golden age of Japanese cinema, a director whose work has grown even more beautiful and profound with time. While he never achieved the international recognition of generational peers such as Akira Kurosawa and Yasujirō Ozu, Kōzaburō Yoshimura collaborated with many of the biggest writers, cinematographers, and actors in midcentury Japan to make stylistically ambitious, emotionally complex films that boldly defied Japanese convention. Spanning from his earliest surviving feature in 1939 to the early 1960s, this series presents Yoshimura’s films on 35mm and 16mm prints rarely seen outside Japan, alongside a 4K digital restoration of his most internationally celebrated work, Undercurrent (1956).
