Tokyo Story (Japan's Golden Age of Cinema)
Tokyo Story - Tokyo monogatari
Japan 1953 | Directed by Yasujiro Ozu | subtitles EN | 136' | digital
Cast: Chishu Ryu, Chieko Higashiyama, Setsuko Hara, Haruko Sugimara
▶ Ranked #4 in the Sight and Sound poll of The Greatest Films of All Time, 2022, Tokyo Story perhaps most clearly illuminates that Ozu is not the most Japanese of filmmakers, but the most human. (Slant Magazine)
★ The already towering reputation of this film and its director continues only to grow. (The Guardian)
★ Ozu's is a cinema of distillation: no jagged cuts and tracks, just a serenely still camera allowing a purity of emotion to trickle free. The result is a quiet, devastating poignancy that gently envelops you en route to an absolute tear-streamer of an ending. (Total Film)
