1953| DCP | JPN | D: Yasujirō Ozu
Japanese, English subtitles
An ageing couple travel to Tokyo to see their adult children, only to find there’s no time or space for them in their children’s busy lives.
Directed by Yasujirō Ozu, and beautifully filmed in black-and-white, this 1953 window on postwar Japan is a simple and powerful meditation on intergenerational conflict and the pain of ageing.
‘The movie ... remains perhaps the wisest of family dramas, an experience as wrenching as it is restorative.’ – Los Angeles Times
Don’t miss Wim Wenders homage to Tokyo Story, with a screening of Tokyo-Ga, on Saturday 20 September. Learn more.
