Two sisters find out the existence of their long-lost mother, but the younger cannot take the truth of being abandoned as a child.
Tokyo Twilight is a film by the master Yasujiro Ozu, the director of classics such as Tokyo Story (1953) and Floating Weeds (1959). Tokyo Twilight feels like a relatively dark Ozu film, and I won't spoil anything but let's just say there's not much room for happy faces.
I've talked about Ozu's film style before, so let's just say it's beautiful. The angles, the placement and the overall stillness of his camera are just perfect.
A fantastic, low-key story about confronting the past.
Genre: Drama
