Japan 1953 135mins subtitled
Cast: Chishu Ryu, Chieko Higashiyama
A classic Ozu and one of cinema’s great masterpieces, Tokyo Story returns to the screen with a restored print and reprises one of the director’s favourite themes – social conflict between the generations. The film follows an ageing couple, Tomi and Sukichi, on a journey from their rural village to visit their two married children in bustling, post-war Tokyo.
Their reception is disappointing however; too busy to entertain them, their children send them off to a health spa. After Tomi falls ill, she and Sukichi return home, while the children, grief-stricken, hasten to be with her. A deceptively simple tale, brimming with poignancy.
