Tokyo Story - Official Trailer

A Film by Yasujiro Ozu. The finest film ever made.

Listed at #1 in Halliwell's Top 1000 countdown of the world's best cinema, and voted among the five best films ever made in Sight and Sound magazine's ten yearly poll of critics worldwide, Tokyo Story is prehaps the most powerful reflection on the human condition ever committed to celluloid.

When an elderly couple travel to a rapidly-rebuilding Tokyo to visit their children, they are met with unexpected indifference, ingratitude and selfishness. As the vastly different priorities of pre- and post-war Japan collide, Yasujiro Ozu's materpiece deepens into a sublime meditation on family, ambition and mortality. Considered by many to be the greatest film ever made, #TokyoStory is a subtle yet overwhelmingly emotional drama from one of Japan's finest directors whose masterful eye and scrupulous attention to character has influenced countless filmmakers around the world.

Just watched it for the first time yesterday, and being a bit of a cinephile, I have to say, this film is one of the best I've ever seen.

The word "masterpiece" gets thrown around far too casually these days but it definitely applies here. Ozu's greatest work.

Tokyo Story is cinema at its absolute best

[williamgregory]

Forget Citizen Kane, Tokyo Story is the greatest film of all time. It’s an Ozu masterpiece whose rewarding complexity has lost none of its power more than half a century on.

Filmed only seven years after the war, yet it is barely mentioned, just a widowed bride.

Heartrending film, a classic. Their children ignore their aging parents. You have to have children to understand.

[Telstara]

Best description of it I ever read..."It's a film about everything. And nothing."

[minask]

A beautiful and powerful film. A true gem. I just rewatched it after maybe 25 years. So beautiful.
