 ED (no offensive material) | In Japanese with English subtitles.\n\n \n\nA 
 profoundly stirring evocation of elemental humanity and universal heartbrea
 k\, "Tokyo Story" is the crowning achievement of the unparalleled Yasujiro 
 Ozu. The film\, which follows an aging couple’s journey to visit their grow
 n children in bustling postwar Tokyo\, surveys the rich and complex world o
 f family life with the director’s customary delicacy and incisive perspecti
 ve on social mores.\n\n \n\nFeaturing lovely performances from Ozu regulars
  Chishu Ryu and Setsuko Hara\, Tokyo Story plumbs and deepens the director’
 s recurring theme of generational conflict\, creating what is without quest
 ion one of cinema’s mightiest masterpieces.\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n"Tokyo Story"
  took the fourth spot in the Sight & Sound poll. Click here to see listings

 \n\n"'Tokyo Story' has frequently been acclaimed by filmmakers and critics 
 alike as the greatest film ever made\, and it very arguably could be. Regar
 dless of where you’d place it on the hierarchy of the “best evers"\, Tokyo 
 Story is certainly the ultimate family film—that is\, the ultimate film abo
 ut family and what family actually means.\n\n \n\n"It is\, of course\, abou
 t a family\, observing three generations in a single unit to analyze the va
 st differences that separate them. In movies like 'Late Spring' and 'Early 
 Summer\,' Ozu looks at the changing face of Japanese culture in the 1950s\,
  when a younger generation challenged and defied traditions that were pivot
 al to older generations.\n\n \n\n"In 'Tokyo Story' he places a lot of value
  on family\, but one that doesn’t necessarily place judgment upon those who
  abide by the inevitability of change. Each generation has its own set of c
 ultural rules that they follow\, without a single generation being right or
  wrong. It’s much more complicated than that\, and Ozu tells the audience t
 hat family is just that: complicated." -- Adam Grinwald\, Collider
