Synopsis:

Regarded by many as one of the world's finest directors, and renowned for his most 'Japanese' of styles, Yasujiro Ozu made his first film in 1927 and went on to direct 55 features before his death in 1963. It was after his passing that the interest in the films of his contemporaries Bunuel, Bergman and compatriot Kurosawa resulted in a small tour of his films in the US and screenings at international film festivals ensuring that his films and style are recognised worldwide. This beautiful box set contains two of his masterpieces, 'Record Of A Tenement Gentleman' and 'Flavour Of Green Tea Over Rice'.
Record Of A Tenement Gentleman: When no one else will take him, a widow reluctantly shelters a lost boy for the night. Discovering that he was abandoned by his impoverished father, she's willing to do the same until she makes a pact with the boy...

Flavour Of Green Tea Over Rice: In a delicately observed drama of rekindled love, a middle-class middle-aged couple come to realise their arranged marriage is not what it was...
