The women into Japanese cinema through the eyes of Ozu and Yoshida
Abstract
The study of the role of women throughout the history of cinema, is the center of multidisciplinary and pluriperspectivistic researches. This article focuses on the work of two filmmakers who evolve the figure of women for several decades in very different social, artistic and political contexts: from the classic vision of Ozu to the revolutionary look of Yohsida, the female characters travel the cinematographic plots of both filmmakers, setting the profile of a woman who embraces renewal, among the ruins of the tradition of Japanese culture.
