13. Tokyo Twilight | The New Yorker
Aug 24, 2015 · Yasujiro Ozu's direction brings emotional depth and philosophical heft to this turbulent and grim family melodrama, from 1957.
Yasujiro Ozu’s direction brings emotional depth and philosophical heft to this turbulent and grim family melodrama, from 1957. A middle-aged businessman slowly awakens to the fact that his two grown daughters are unhappy in love. The elder, who agreed to an arranged marriage with a respected intellectual (despite loving someone else), finds her husband overbearing and egocentric; the younger is involved with a dissolute student who neglects his studies for gambling. But as family secrets emerge—the father’s long-concealed romantic humiliations, as well as wartime disruptions and degradations—it becomes clear that secrets themselves are the problem. Ozu reveals the emotional corrosion caused by maintaining a brave front in the face of problems and by shielding children from darker issues—even those regarding their own past. By the movie’s end, all Japanese society seems rotted out by the lies that pass for civility and propriety. An ostensibly happy ending offers little but resignation. In Japanese.(Film Forum, Nov. 8-14, and streaming.)
