Life is disappointing, isn't it?" Elderly parents visit their grown children in the frenetic capital, only to face a chilly reception. From a deceptively simple plot, Ozu (and frequent stars Chishu Ryu and Setsuko Hara, radiant) crafts a quietly devastating tale, both incisive portrait of postwar Japan and timeless meditation on family.
