Tokyo Story background

Tokyo Story

東京物語 (original)

A stirring evocation of humanity and heartbreak, Tokyo Story is the crowning achievement of Yasujiro Ozu. The film, which follows an aging couple's journey to visit their grown children in postwar Tokyo, surveys the rich and complex world of family life with the director's customary delicacy and perspective on social mores. Featuring lovely performances from Chishu Ryu and Setsuko Hara, Tokyo Story deepens the director's recurring theme of generational conflict, creating one of cinema's mightiest masterpieces.
