Director: Yasujiro Ozu
Writer: Kogo Noda, Yasujiro Ozu
Language: Japanese
The film is set after the world war in Tokyo where an old couple comes for a visit to see their children and grand children and find that their now married children are too busy with the life in city to spare time for them. The greatest beauty of the film is that everything is shown in a very subtle way without any sentimentality and there is no tear jerking. I think the people from eastern world, especially India will relate to the story very well as we ourselves are experiencing a growth similar to what Japan experienced after world war. The film shows the change in dynamics of the relationships in the society. Another film I have seen from 50s in Japanese is Akira Kurosawa's 'Ikiru' which has bureaucratic corruption and loneliness in modern world as its theme. This film is also very relevant to modern India.
My Rating: 4.5/5
