Yasujiro Ozu’s Tokyo Story (consistently featuring in critics polls) is a most enduring masterpiece and a beautifully nuanced exploration of filial duty, expectation and regret.
From the simple tale of an elderly couple’s visit to their grown-up children in Tokyo, Ozu draws a compelling contrast between the measured dignity of age and the hurried insensitivity of a younger generation.
Also included here is Ozu’s incisive satire Brothers and Sisters of the Toda Family (1941), which explores similar themes as, following the death of her husband, Mrs Toda and her youngest daughter receive a frosty reception from extended family.
