A great description! Looking forward to a film that is ranked with "Citizen Kane", "Rules of the Game", etc.

Reminds me of my favorite Reiner story:

During rehearsals for "Der Meistersinger" at the Met, the first chair french horn player made a mistake. Reiner stopped the orchestra and restarted them a few bars back. A few minutes later, the same player made another mistake. Reiner stopped the orchestra again, and the orchestra held its breath awaiting one of his patented explosions. Reiner asked the musician, "What is the problem?" The french horn player replied, "But sir, I have never heard 'Die Meistersinger' before." Instead of exploding, Reiner paused, smiled, and replied, "What I would give to hear 'Meistersinger' for the first time! Okay, let's go back and take it from bar ----."

Looking forward to seeing "Tokyo Story"!
