Starring: Chishû Ryû, Chieko Higashiyama and Sô Yamamura
Yasujirō Ozu’s most enduring masterpiece, TOKYO STORY, is a beautifully nuanced exploration of filial duty, expectation and regret. From the simple tale of an elderly husband and wife’s visit to Tokyo to see their grown-up children, Ozu draws a compelling contrast between the measured dignity of age and the hurried insensitivity of a younger generation.
Placed fourth in Sight and Sound’s Greatest Films of All Time poll 2022.
