“One of the manifest miracles of the cinema” ( The New Yorker ), TOKYO STORY figures prominently in most critics' lists of the greatest films ever made. An elderly couple journey to Tokyo to visit their children and are confronted by indifference, ingratitude, and selfishness. When the parents are packed off to a resort by their impatient children, the film deepens into an unbearably moving meditation on mortality. “One of the greatest of all Japanese motion pictures. Ozu's style, now completely refined, utterly economical, creates a film which is unforgettable because it is so right, so true, and because it demands so much from an audience” (Donald Richie). PG
