New trailer for Tokyo Story - in UK/Ireland cinemas 1 September 2023 | BFI

’Heartbreaking and deeply human’ Voted 4th in @SightSoundmag’s 2022 Greatest Films of All Time poll, Ozu’s masterpiece Tokyo Story returns to UK & Irish cinemas from 1 Sep. Yasujirō Ozu’s most enduring masterpiece, Tokyo Story, is a beautifully nuanced exploration of filial duty, expectation and regret. From the simple tale of an elderly husband and wife’s visit to Tokyo to see their grown-up children, Ozu draws a compelling contrast between the measured dignity of age and the hurried insensitivity of a younger generation.
