Yasujirō Ozu, Equinox Flower, 1958

When movie stills look like paintings… The Japanese auteur Yasujirō Ozu was famed for his precise, masterly compositions that, when freeze-framed, often resemble artworks in their own right. This still was taken from his 1958 film Equinox Flower, the visually sumptuous story of a father and self-professed liberal on the subject of marriage, whose views are put to the test when his daughter declares her love for a musician.
