Tokyo Story
Director: Yasujiro Ozu
Starring: Starring: Chishu Ryu, Chiyeko Higashiyama, Setsuko Hara,
Japan, 1953, 2 hours 15 minutes, Japanese with English subtitles
Often topping lists of the best films of all time, this simple story about elderly parents visiting their children, remains one of the most profoundly moving, approachable of all cinema’s masterpieces. Ozu’s trademark style; low, static camera, unhurried pacing and elaborately composed frames allows us time to reflect on the passing of time, the inevitability of loss, and how to cope with life’s disappointments.
Mae rhieni oedrannus yn ymweld â’u plant, ffilm hamddenol yw hon ond mae’n effeithiol ar ddangos perthynas a pha mor anochel yw colled.
“One of the great classics of world cinema.” BBC
