“Tokyo Story” @ The Landmark Greenwood Village for Chez Artiste Classics

Truly a special treat. This is considered one of the greatest films of all time and perhaps Ozu’s magnum opus, which is saying something since his filmography is saturated with masterpieces.

Tokyo Story is as with many of Ozu’s films a simple one—an elderly couple visit their children in the city—but the patient, contemplative, and melancholic nature of the film creates a lasting, universal effect that can be felt by anyone with a heart and a soul.

It stars many of the usual Ozu players including Chishu Ryu and Setsuko Hara.

Be prepared to, perhaps not sob (or sob), but to perhaps understand/gain a new perspective and call up your parents after this film.

I’ll be in the lobby a little early with the CLASSIC Makeshift DCC sign to gather the group then head over to the screening. If anyone’s interested, we can also grab a quick bite to eat before!
