Straight story.

Japan is probably one of the few countries in the world today that... not only is not ashamed of its own history, but also tries to save it from be forgotten. 50 years ago, in an very intimate way, personal and unique, Ozu tells you all this, troughout the eyes of an old couple, that seems to want to fit in the new era, without hurting the new generation feelings. Awesome photography, perfect acting and finest direction, in what is considered by many, as the best japanese movie ever.
