Gunnar_Ingibjargarson Review of Tokyo Twilight

Tokyo Twilight (1957)

If we needed more proof that Ozu was not of this world, here it is

[10/10 · 12 June 2021]

A two grown up sisters living with their single father, find out they have a mother who abounded them years ago. Feelings of hostile and anger, goes around them both. Another masterful filmmaking by Ozu, through family and loneliness, abandonment and anger, fulfill this piece. Setsuko Hara and Chishû Ryû, stunning as usual. A little different Ozu film in many ways, here we have a lot of darkness and hardness around family and family members. A masterpiece.
