The Museum in partnership with Queens Theatre in the Park will present six of the greatest, must-see films of all time in Moving Image Masterpieces.
Tokyo Story screens November 5. Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu explored universal themes, including the generational tensions of family life, and the ongoing clash between modernity and tradition. His films were simple in plot; Tokyo Story follows an aging couple on a journey from their rural village to visit their married children in bustling postwar Tokyo. Ozu's signature is his meditative visual style; at the heart of the film are the exquisite performances by his favorite actors, Chishu Ryu as the aging father and Setsuko Hara as the daughter. (1953, 136 mins. Digital projection on a big screen. With Chishu Ryu, Setsuko Hara.)
Screening introduced by David Schwartz, Chief Curator of Museum of the Moving Image.
