I already have written some on it. At the center of the film is the eternal conflict of children drifting away from their parents, becoming selfish and losing their roots.All swell... and you have seen it tackled many times before, but here is where Tokyo Story is different from many other such films - it does it all with such subtlety, half-tones and understated points that it truly becomes a rare marvel. Where an Italian director would hit you on your nose with the sheer shall we say, realism (pun, of course...), of the situation, Tokyo Story does it all without even raising voice once.
The characters are incredibly real and easy to identify with - something one can hardly do with works like Rules of the Game (which I love immensely too, but for a different reason). You will probably see part of yourself in some of them. The acting is superb - several actors not outshining each other, but rather performing in a perfect union, like a world-class chamber ensemble. Each image is worthy of framing.
But enough of that... just contact them and see for yourself - I know you will love it.
