A film by this director features repeated images of a white lighthouse at the end of a pier, including in the first shot in which a beer bottle sits in the foreground before it. This director breaks the 180-degree rule in a scene in which a woman scolds two drunk men who've passed out in salon chairs. This director used a 50-millimeter lens for nearly all his shots, such as his trademark conversation scenes in which the camera cuts between frontal shots of the speakers looking into the camera. A film by this director of Floating Weeds cuts from a smiling woman lying in bed in an inn on a sightseeing trip with her father to the image of a shadowy vase on the floor, one of his (*) "pillow shots." This director's low-angle shots of characters sitting on floor mats feature in a film that begins and ends with train journeys and follows an elderly couple whose daughter-in-law treats them kindlier than their own children. For 10 points, name this Japanese director of Late Spring and Tokyo Story.
