Tokyo Story, a masterpiece released in 1953 by director Yasujiro Ozu. It's a simple yet deeply moving film, both heartwarming and a little sad. Tokyo Story (1953, directed by Yasujiro Ozu) is an immortal masterpiece depicting the bonds of family and the misunderstandings between generations. An elderly couple (Chishu Ryu, Chieko Higashiyama) from Hiroshima travels to Tokyo and, while being neglected by their busy children, are touched by the kindness of Noriko (Setsuko Hara), the widow of their deceased son. Ozu's characteristic low-angle camera and quiet direction highlight the beauty and poignancy of everyday life. There is little dialogue; expressions and pauses speak volumes. You can feel the love between parents and children and the passage of time, making even junior high school students contemplate the depth of life and the importance of family. - Title: Tokyo Story - Series: Japanese Masterpiece Film Collection 24 - Release Year: 1953 - Director: Yasujiro Ozu - Cast: Chishu Ryu, Setsuko Hara, Kinuyo Tanaka Thank you for watching.
