«Cuentos de Tokio» is the film by Yasujiro Ozu (1953), starring Chishu Ryu, Chieko Higashiyama and Setsuko Hara, on DVD.
An elderly couple travels from their coastal town to Tokyo and Osaka to visit their children. Between work and urban life, they barely have time for them; only the daughter-in-law, Noriko, looks after the visitors. The trip brings to light the emotional distance between generations and the loneliness of old age in postwar Japan.
Original title: Tōkyō Monogatari. Two-disc edition, with 136 minutes of footage. Original version in Japanese, with dubbing and subtitles in Spanish.
A classic Japanese cinema film for those seeking stories about family, ageing and generational distances.
