Tokyo story
Thursday night January 29 at 6:30pm in Lindsay Young Auditorium in Hodges Library the International House presents Tokyo Story as part of the International Film Series. Tokyo Story is a 1953 Japanese film directed by Yasujiro Ozu. In Sight and Sound magazine's polls of directors and critics, Tokyo Story is regularly listed as one of the ten greatest films ever made. We will also invite Noriko J. Horiguchi, Assistant Professor, Department of Modern Foreign Languages and Literatures, to give a short speech about the movie. Below please see a brief plot synopsis of the film.
It tells the story of a couple who travel to Tokyo to visit their grown children, but find their children are too absorbed in their own lives to spend much time with their parents. It is often regarded as Ozu's masterpiece, and is cited by Sight & Sound as one of the greatest films ever made.
