I think those divisions are passé now, both in literature and film, and I would like to change those prejudices.
Most people do believe that Ozu is more Japanese-oriented, but in my opinion, his films are not thrilling because they are concerned with Japanese psyche, but because they are simply good cinema, subject matter aside.
Similarly, you can extract some kind of Japanese-ness from Jyunichiro Tanizaki’s work, but more importantly, his work is exquisite.
