- Yasujiro Ozu's Tokyo Story follows an aging couple, Tomi and Shukichi, on their journey from their rural village to visit their two married children in a bustling postwar Tokyo. Their reception, however, is disappointing: too busy to entertain them, their children send them off to the hot springs. After Tomi falls ill, she and Sukichi return home; the children grief-stricken, hasten to be with her. From a simple tale unfolds one of the greatest of all Japanese films. Starring Ozu regulars Chisu Ryu and Setsuko Hara, the film reprises one of the director's favorite themes--that of generational conflict--in a way that is quintessentially Japanese, and yet universal in its appeal."
