From one of the most humane and philosophical film-makers of all time comes this slow, gentle study of human nature and the passing of time, told through Ozu's trademark contemplative static camera shots and delicate but poignant domestic scenes.

Stanley Kubrick makes his debut on EFAS with his satirical black comedy masterpiece famous for having Peter Sellers play 3 different characters, and being a both hilarious and terrifying portrayal of humanity's hypocrisy and sheer stupidity.

Wow what a week this was.
ReplyDeleteTokyo Story:
A timeless classic so gentle yet profound, which displays the core differences between the philosophy of Hollywood films and classical Japanese cinema, since in almost all American films the characters and audience are encouraged that they can make their lives better if they want it enough, instead in Japanese classical cinema and Ozu most of all, particularly this film, the philosophy is totally different: it regards such assumptions with disdain and posits that life is simply meant to be bittersweet and the characters would be better off accepting that the competitive pursuit of happiness is a futile game - Kyoko Kagawa sums it up better than I do, in just one line.

The darkest, funniest, most scathing, most biting, most potentially truthful political satire ever made.
