Films

A 1953 Japanese drama directed by Yasujiro Ozu, following an elderly couple's visit to their grown children in postwar Tokyo and the quiet neglect they meet there. Shot in Ozu's characteristic low, static camera style, it is widely regarded as one of the most acclaimed films ever made about family and generational change.
