"This remains one of the most approachable and moving of all cinema's masterpieces" Time Out<\/i><\/div>\n <\/blockquote>\n

Retired couple Sh\u016bkichi and Tomi travel from their seaside village to Tokyo to visit two of their children. They have not seen them in a long time. But it turns out that both son and daughter are too busy to appreciate their visit. They are career-driven, uninterested and cold towards their parents. Only their late son\u2019s widow, Noriko, takes care of them… A universal masterpiece about family dynamics in a modern world.<\/p>\n

\n
"This 1953 classic is one of the cinema's most profound and moving studies of married\nlove, ageing and the relations between parents and children. It is flawless and rewards numerous\nviewings" Observer<\/i><\/div>\n <\/blockquote>\n
