SUMMARY:Silent Revue: Yasujiro Ozu's TOKYO CHORUS
DESCRIPTION:Special Co-presentation with The Silent Revue\nTOKYO CHORUS 東京の合唱 \nSunday November 18\, 2018 4:15 PM\nDirected by Yasujiro Ozu\, 1931 (PG) 91 minutes\, 35 mm\nFeaturing live piano accompaniment\nDuring Japan’s depression-era Shōwa period\, young father Shinji Okajima loses his job and must find a way to provide for his wife Sugako (Emiko Yagumo) and three children.\n \nFeaturing stunning performances from child actors Hideo Sugawara and five-year-old Hideko Takamine (who would grow up to become one of Japan’s most legendary actresses)\, Ozu conjured a personal\, empathetic viewpoint of a family who\, while struggling\, are bound by their bonds.\nShow More details about Yasujirō Ozu’s TOKYO CHORUS (1931) in 35mm  \nA tribute “to the language of silent film which Ozu undoubtedly recognized as a medium on the verge of disappearance” (Catherine Russell\, Cineaste)\, Silent Revue presents one of the master Japanese filmmaker’s earliest and greatest masterpieces—1931’s TOKYO CHORUS. Oscillating between a warmhearted family comedy and a heart-wrenching\, realist drama\, TOKYO CHORUS is in dialogue with Ozu’s most revered sound films including TOKYO STORY. During Japan’s depression-era Shōwa period\, young father Shinji Okajima (played by the incredible Tokihiko Okada just a few short years before his death at the age of 30) loses his job and must find a way to provide for his wife Sugako (Emiko Yagumo) and their three children. Competing with the material expectations of his spoiled seven-year-old son—who rejects his father’s gift of a scooter after demanding a bicycle—as well as his wife who has her best kimono sold when their daughter becomes ill\, Shinji battles life’s disappointments. \nFeaturing stunning performances from child actors Hideo Sugawara and five-year-old Hideko Takamine (who would grow up to become one of Japan’s most legendary actresses)\, Ozu conjured a personal\, empathetic portrait of a family that\, while struggling\, are strengthened by their familial bonds. Heavily influenced by King Vidor’s 1928 THE CROWD\, Ozu’s TOKYO CHORUS prefigures such moving portrayals of fathers and sons as De Sica’s BICYCLE THIEVES\, while focusing specifically on the isolation and alienation of life in a modern city.  \n\nDirector: Yasujirô Ozu\nCast: Tokihiko Okada\, Emiko Yagumo\, Hideo Sugawara \n\nABOUT THE SILENT REVUE SERIES \n\nSilent Revue is Toronto’s celebrated ongoing exploration of Silent Cinema – the only year-round dedicated selection of silent films in a theatrical venue.
