Yasujiro Ozu's most widely distributed and best-known film presents the story of an elderly couple in post World War II Japan who come to Tokyo to visit their various children and realize that the family has essentially fallen apart. The couple is received coldly by their two modernized children and only their widowed daughter-in-law seems glad to see them. The children shuttle their aging parents off to a health spa in an attempt to get them out of the way. They learn later that the mother has fallen ill upon her return and arrive too late to say their good-byes.

"Yasujiro Ozu created quiet epics that dealt purely and without stylistic fuss about what really matters....A masterpiece..." - Mike, Clark (USA Today Critic), USA Today, 11/07/2003

"[O]ne of the greatest films of all time." - Roger, Ebert (Critic and screenwriter), Chicago Sun-Times, 11/09/2003

"[T]he experience of watching Ozu's masterpieces reveals an artist whose allegiances are strikingly diverse." - Brad, Stevens (Sight and Sound Critic), Sight and Sound, 03/01/2005
