SUMMARY:April Films: Tokyo Story
DESCRIPTION:Classics: Tokyo Story\nDir. Yasujiro Ozu\, 1953\, 136 min.\nIn Japanese with English subtitles \nOne of Japan’s most acclaimed films\, both domestically and internationally\, Yasujiro Ozu’s Tokyo Story delicately but devastatingly critiques 20th century family values. An elderly couple travels Tokyo and Osaka to visit their adult children\, but finds that only their widowed daughter-in-law receives them warmly\, while the others find ways to push them aside. Without drama or fanfare\, we nonetheless experience the heartbreak of their neglect. Tokyo Story\, says film critic Roger Ebert\, “lacks sentimental triggers and contrived emotion; it looks away from moments a lesser movie would have exploited. It doesn’t want to force our emotions\, but to share its understanding.” \nClassics Series: Revisiting the all-time greats of Japanese Cinema \nRelated event: Cherry Blossoms\n \n

DESCRIPTION:Cherry Blossoms (Germany)\nDir. Doris Dörrie\, 2008\, 127 min.\nIn German and Japanese with English subtitles\nco-presented by the Goethe-Institut Toronto\n \nGerman filmmaker Doris Dörrie mirrors the themes and plot of Tokyo Story in her 2008 film Cherry Blossoms. As in Tokyo Story\, a mother\, Trudi\, dies unexpectedly after she and her husband Rudi pay a disappointing visit to her children and grandchildren in the city.
