Tokyo Story (東京物語)
Yasujiro Ozu’s quietly overpowering masterpiece tells a deceptively simple tale of an elderly couple who journey to Tokyo, where they are received less than enthusiastically by their grown-up children; then generational conflicts are stilled momentarily by death. Ozu unfolds his story with warmth and quiet emotion, but at the heart of his Old World civility is a vision of alienation in the modern world as powerful as any by Antonioni and Bergman. Ozu’s unique style a subtle interplay of rhythm, detail, and restraint has become legendary; there is no better introduction to his method than Tokyo Story.
