An elderly take couple from a small village go to visit their adult children in Tokyo. Their son, a doctor, and their daughter, a hairdresser, don't have much time to spend with their aged parents, and so it falls to the widow of their younger son, who was killed in the war, to keep her in-laws company.
« In this exquisite merging of specific and universal, infinite and infinitesimal, Tokyo Story perhaps most clearly illuminates that Ozu is not the most Japanese of filmmakers, but the most human. » (Slant Magazine)
« The already towering reputation of this film and its director continues only to grow. » (The Guardian)
« Ozu's is a cinema of distillation: no jagged cuts and tracks, just a serenely still camera allowing a purity of emotion to trickle free. The result is a quiet, devastating poignancy that gently envelops you en route to an absolute tear-streamer of an ending. » (Total Film)
