Re: Silence on The Tokyo Story

Sorry, Victor, but MY silence on the film comes from the fact that although I have heard of it, I have never seen it. I live in Northwest Louisiana. We only have 3 multiplexes here. No art theatres. The local colleges either don't show films or show films in an interdisciplinary program (as an instructor, I'm sure you know what this means, but allow me to give a one-sentence example: if a teacher is teaching something on Iran, the college shows films from or about Iran. If a teacher is teaching something the next semester about India, Bollywood here we come, etc.). Blockbuster and Hollywood are my two video choices. TV? Typical cable offered: HBO, Showtime, Cinemax.

In other words, although I have seen a handful (and only a small handful at that) of references to the film, it is only thanks to this board that I have become aware of the film's reputation in places where they do have lots of movie theatres, university film programs, off-beat independent video stores, etc.

Can I assume that "The Toyko Story" is available on DVD? Criterion, perhaps? And, without spoilers, can you tell me what it and why you agree it is one of the great films?
