A taste of the “gentle cinema” – as Abbas Kiarostami defined it – of the Japanese director which will continue in the following weeks with the circulation of his other films, including Late spring, Early summer, The flavor of green tea rice, The taste of sake.

Film of Ozu’s maturity, Trip to Tokyo brings together immense issues in a simple story: the lack of communication between generations, the detachment from tradition, the importance of family ties. An unmissable.
