Tokyo Story
An elderly couple travels from their rural village to visit their adult children in bustling post-war Tokyo, only to find themselves largely neglected and treated as a burden. The film, directed by Yasujirō Ozu, explores themes of family dynamics, generational conflict, and the passage of time with a poignant subtlety. Featuring standout performances by Chishū Ryū and Setsuko Hara, this classic is celebrated for its minimalist style and emotional depth. Although it did not win any major awards upon release, it has since been recognized as one of the greatest films ever made. For those interested, it can be viewed for free on Soap2day.
