it is a powerful and moving story of how people change and move on without considering their families. it takes a while to get going, but once it gets into the meat of the film, it is very well constructed and effective. i just wish that it was a little clearer early how they are all related. i'm sure that to a japanese audience from the 50s it is obvious from how they interact, but as an outsider it took a while to figure out exactly who was who. watched as part of scavenger hunt 41 my list | kb burke's master list read more

classic carlo to be struggling at least a little with the classics. my interest sorta dipped in and out during tokyo story, depending on which characters it focused on. setsuko hara in particular being the shining beacon that she is. the poster betrays an inherent sadness to this one which definitely doesn't make for the most "fun" ozu, but it does make you think about your own family relations and how you can maybe be doing more, which really got to me in the end. so yeah it's good, but a little long and more than that not really an easy breezy watch. glad to have seen it, but not a heavy... read more

i was surprised at how invested i was throughout the whole film. it really is timeless, pretty much every family goes through this at some point or another. children grow up, move out, and slowly drift away from their parents. it's difficult to reconnect when far apart and not being able to make the time. remember to stay connected with your grandparents, y'all. read more

this is one of those cases where there's a kind of reporting bias in the ratings. with a lot of the films that cinephiles have great love and admiration for, you have to ask yourself how many average film-goers have seen it? and of those, how many have tracked it down on letterboxd? and how many of those have cared enough to rate it? ok, so really, out of (currently) 774 people, the average score is 4.4/5. does that mean that the average film-goer would love this movie? absolutely not. it's rarefied taste. that said, i rarely enjoy films from before the '70s, but this one holds up. i lived in... read more

An elderly couple travels to Tokyo to visit their grownup children. The busy lives and selfishness of the new generations make the trip less pleasant than it should have been, although a widowed daughter-in-law does strike a warm relationship with the visitors. Ozu's landmark, unwaveringly undramatic, masterpiece quietly captures the flavor of true life with a matter-of-factly gaze that eventually proves more moving than any melodrama. read more

For this weeks classic I decided on this one from 1953. The movie is quite long at 2 hours and 15 mins but the time goes fast in spots,other times it did lag a bit but I guess this was in the style for the movie. The family drama story here is a very simple straightforward one,all the acting is really good. Admittedly I had never heard of this before but watched it as part of IMDB's Top 250, will have to look forward to other works from this director. read more

Now you know where Baghban comes from. But Ozu's Tokyo Story is Baghban done right. The simplicity of the film is like an iceberg that's compelling you to look beneath the surface. As you introspect your relationship with your parents, at least from the conservative/expectation laden parenting of India, Tokyo Story fills silences with its weight. Children never grow up the way parents expect. I see now my dearmost Kore-eda san, where does thou find this phenomenally beautiful knack of portraying parent child relationships. I see why the legacy of Paku san (Takahata) is tied to the fervour... read more

Visto in Sala con Win Wenders presente, per tutta la visione del film! Partiamo dal dire di aver visto uno dei Restauri (curati dalla Tucker, qui!) più percepibili e intensi che io abbia mai visto in un film! Ma nemmeno quelli della Criterion/Janus Films mi hanno fatto sobbalzare dalla poltrona così tanto per lo stupore! E ho notato maggiormente ciò, soprattutto dopo aver visto la versione che girava ai tempi delle riprese di Tokyo-Ga di Wim Wenders o di un Fuori Orario di Ghezzi , a caso! Talvolta mi è parrso di intravedere un UMBERTO D. giapponese come mood , altre , se non nella... read more
