Tokyo Story (東京物語), dir. Yasujirō Ozu, Japan 1953, 136 min., Japanese with English subtitles, U

A constant fixture in critic’s polls, Yasujirō Ozu’s most enduring masterpiece is a beautifully nuanced exploration of filial duty, expectation and regret. From the simple tale of an elderly husband and wife’s visit to Tokyo to see their grown-up children, Ozu draws a compelling contrast between the measured dignity of age and the hurried insensitivity of a younger generation.

Yasujirō Ozu’s enduring classic returns to the big screen in a brand new 4K restoration.
