Tokyo Story by Yasujiro Ozu (1953) *Japan

Ozu is known for his family dramas, his tatami mat shots & his cheeky inversion of using OSS to convey a conversation, instead choosing to use graphic matches of the actor/ actress directly facing the screen.

This is a thought provoking movie speaking about kinship, and even the most likeable character proves to have her own intentions in thinking of wanting to find a second husband (:

Ozu acknowledges without sadness that life is indeed disappointing. This is a theme resonant in all his films.
