Yasujirō Ozu’s Tokyo Story (1953) has long been celebrated as one of the greatest films ever made. Voted the greatest film of all time in Sight & Sound ’s 2012 directors’ poll, it is a quiet, devastating portrait of family, generational change, and the quiet devastation of aging in a modernizing world.
