In this exquisite merging of specific and universal, infinite and infinitesimal, Tokyo Story perhaps most clearly illuminates that Ozu is not the most Japanese of filmmakers, but the most human.

This remains one of the most approachable and moving of all cinema's masterpieces.
September 01, 2010
Ozu has made a film as simple in form and complex in nature as life itself. Here, every viewer is cast as a tourist, and yet will feel right at home.

Ozu's long shots, knee-high camera placement, and collapsed perspective -- as gorgeous and unsettling as a Cézanne -- gather power over the duration, but time itself is the master's most potent weapon.

Ozu doesn't sentimentalize or condemn; he merely observes human nature with calm and clarity.

The way Ozu builds up emotional empathy for a sense of disappointment in its various characters is where his mastery lies.

[VIDEO ESSAY] YasujirĂ´ Ozu's beloved masterpiece of postwar Japanese cinema speaks to audiences from all backgrounds because of the cross-generational familial truths that the prolific director/co-writer lovingly metes out.
