  • Summary

  • Ranking No. 4 on the British Film Institute's recently released Greatest Films of All Time poll was director Yasujirō Ozu's "Tokyo Story" (1953), which plays as a meditation on time and generational divides, set during a parents' trip to Tokyo to visit their adult children.

    In this episode, Mike and Brian discuss Ozu's visual approach and whether or not a film can be shot "objectively;" they talk pre- and post-war sensibilities; growing apart; trauma-bonding; and the disapointments that come with being stuck in transitional periods of familial or cultural change.
