著名导演小津安二郎写下他的人生、他的电影
唯一授权中文简体版
著名学者止庵作序导读
有人跟我说，偶尔也拍些不同的东西吧。我说，我是“开豆腐店的”。做豆腐的人去做咖喱饭或炸猪排，不可能好吃。——小津安二郎
---------------------------------------------------------
《我是开豆腐店的，我只做豆腐》，著名导演小津安二郎写下他的人生、他的电影。拍电影四十年，小津只走自己的路，一直想完美地表现人性的温暖。人生中的执著，天性中的悲悯，都在这数十年间煮成一锅好豆腐。
小津安二郎坚持“电影是以余味定输赢”的信条，脚踏实地只开独家的“豆腐店”：“面对摄影机时，我想的最根本的东西是通过它深入思考事物，找回人类本来丰富的爱。说那东西是人性可能过于抽象，算是人的温暖吧。我念兹在兹的，就是如何将这种温暖完美地表现在画面上。”

When a theater troupe's master visits his old flame, he unintentionally sets off a chain of unexpected events with devastating consequences.

An aging actor returns to a small town with his troupe and reunites with his former lover and illegitimate son, a scenario that enrages his current mistress and results in heartbreak for all.
