Tokyo Story (DVD)
A film by Yasujiro Ozu
A constant fixture in critic's polls, Yasujiro Ozu's most enduring masterpiece, Tokyo Story, is a beautifuIly nuanced exploration of fiIiaI duty, expectation and regret. From the simple tale of an elderIy husband and wife's visit to Tokyo to see their grown-up children, Ozu draws a compeIling contrast between the measured dignity of age and the hurried insensitivity of a younger generation.
Ozu's incisive satire, Brothers and Sisters of the Toda FamiIy, also incIuded here, explores similar themes. After the death of her husband, Mrs Toda and her youngest daughter receive a frosty weIcome from extended famiIy.
