  Ozu is, I think, Japan's greatest master, and this film demonstrates why.

  It also contains one of the most devastating, crushing, poignant single lines of dialogue ever spoken, which I will not spoil for those who haven't seen it.

  The film is indeed incredible in its subtlety and simplicity, yet depth.

  So I might not agree with the choice, but I am not going to disagree with it.

  ...Renoir's Rules Of The Game. So there.

  But Ozu's Tokyo Story is right up there with it. You could make a case for other Ozu's as well, just as you could for Grand Illusion.

  The Sight & Sound poll, silly buggers, voted Citizen Kane best of all time.

    I think it is "Citizen Kane".

      Oscars be awarded to Director and film but the lead is stiffed?
      The only explanation I can think of is...racism. John deserved it, overwhelmingly. What an amazing portrait. Simply amazing, even after many repeated viewings.
