Emilio, Julian, and Madeline wrap up their “Holiday Suggestion/Gift Box” mini-cycle with Satoshi Kon's penultimate work, “Tokyo Godfathers” (2003). Rather than gold, frankincense, and myrrh, our three hosts come bearing different personal histories with the art form of anime. They discuss the benefits and challenges of this storytelling medium, and dive into the burning questions: were the actions that ostracized our protagonists really that bad? What do the serendipitous events of this movie mean? And, of course, could this film have been made as live action?If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.  This really helps us find new listeners and grow!Follow us on IG and TikTok: @sleeplesscinematicpodSend us an email at sleeplesscinematicpod@gmail.comOn Letterboxd?

Vår resa genom filmhistorien fortsätter och vi är framme vid 40- och 50-talet. Eftersom Hille var sjuk så fick vi ringa in en gammal Kinomatiskt-bekanting; Yasmin, känd från avsnitt 22. Tillsammans pratar vi bl a om krigets påverkan på 40-talets filmlandskap och om 50-talets "Golden Age of World Cinema". På vägen genom dessa decennier hamnar vi i Storbritannien i och med Felix filmval, det färgsprakande balettdramat The Red Shoes från 1948. Nästa stopp är Japan och undantryckta känslor i klassiska familjedramat Tokyo Story från 1953, en film som Hille valde och vår gäst därför "tvingades" kolla på. Slutligen hamnar vi i Italien med Krilles val, La Strada, Fellinis cirkus-fantasi från 1954. Återigen ger även Krille några tips på lite mer bortglömda filmer från de aktuella årtiondena.

https://notesonfilm1.com/2024/08/16/jose-arroyo-in-converssation-with-alastair-phillips-on-tokyo-story-yasujiro-ozu-1953/ I've been wanting to talk to Alastair Phillips about his ‘BFI Classic' monograph on TOKYO STORY (Yasujiro Ozu, 1953) since it was first published late last year. I found reading the book after watching the film truly illuminating, deepening and enriching the experience: a real achievement with a film already so familiar. It draws on Japanese sources not yet available in English, offering new information on the film's production and reception and combines this with Alastair's characteristically precise and informative textual analysis. It's no surprise that the book is already on its second printing. In the podcast we discuss the significance of TOKYO STORY being Ozu's first film after the American occupation; Shochiku Studios, genre, and the star system of the period; the film's reception in Japan and the lag between that and broader international release; Ozu's characteristic aesthetic, including what Nöel Burch characterised as the ‘pillow shot' ; the relation of space to place in the film; how the film is about the flow of time in its varied temporalities; the female-centric aspect of the film and what it has to say about ‘blood' families; why and how it's so moving; it's relationship to MAKE WAY FOR TOMORROW (Leo McCarey, 1937); how Ozu is not just one of the great directors of the Twentieth Centuries but, considering his work as a potter, designer, painter, photographer, calligrapher etc, might just be one of its greatest artists; why it keeps getting ranked at the top of the critics' polls decade after decade; why isn't it called THE ONOMICHI STORY …. And much more. A conversation that will hopefully incite listeners to read the book.

The Wiz RECOMMENDS Tokyo Story How can a film be both minimalistic but beautiful? Plain but profound? To the point but complex? In Yasujiro Ozu's masterpiece Tokyo Story, Ozu uses his lack of stylistics as a powerful style all it's own: he plays the film as straight and direct as possible and let's the dynamics play out as it may. The result is a film that feels like it should feel simple: a film about an elderly couple visiting their kids who don't have time for them is about as succinct as it can get. But it's depths come from the subtle nuances of the performances by the elderly couple, the questions that the film asks and the direct but compassionate answers it provides. It's both sobering, sad and tragic without it feeling overbearing and over dramatic. It's no wonder why filmmakers and film lovers heap it so much praise: it does so damn much with so little.

Tokyo Story is on numerous lists of the best films of all time. It’s in my personal top five. This movie is considered the masterpiece by legendary filmmaker Yasujiro Ozu, and it stars his luminous muse, Setsuko Hara. Tokyo Story is a black and white time capsule of life in Japan after World War II and depicts how the war and Japan’s modernization disrupted its family dynamic. Compared with the boldness of Akira Kurosawa’s movies, it’s sedate and thoughtful, and you may easily find yourself shedding a tear or two. Micheline Maynard with Shelly Brisbin and Nathan Alderman.

In this episode- recorded last summer- I finally return to the wonderful world of 1940s cinema and- in particular- to the work of Yasujirō Ozu (the director of 'Tokyo Story') with a solo conversation about his 1949 film, 'Late Spring' (a film well worth watching, if you get the chance). And even though it's a short episode I find time to talk about a number of things but- in particualr- I look at this film from a queer perspective. I also have things to say about The Game of Life.

Welcome to It's A Wonderful Podcast!! There have been a small handful of Japanese movies covered on this show in the past, but not one like this. Morgan and Jeannine continue the World Cinema series talking the beautifully moving, quiet, understated, and thoroughly universal portrait of a family's complacency, regret, and heartfelt understanding; TOKYO STORY (1953)! Directed with impeccable precision and humanity by Yasujiro Ozu, he seems to have perfected a fondness for domestic-based dramas with this continually revered movie!

Felicia is joined by Peter Merriman to discuss Yasujirō Ozu's tale about aging parents and their relationships with their older children, in Tokyo Story (1953). We chat about why Japan original didn't think they could market this film in North America, and how it eventually became one of the most universal film texts that audiences continue to relate to. This mark's the end of the Ozu series, it was an honour and beautiful experience revisiting and watching some of his films for the first time in preparation. There is an Ozu film out there for everyone, and I hope you find it and it changes your life. Send us your thoughts on the episode - do you prefer Ozu's colour or black and white film era?

Widely considered one of the greatest films ever made, Yasujiro Ozu's Tokyo Story is a quiet, gentle yet tragic family drama about the distance that can grow between elderly parents and their adult children. It's a critique of the transformation of culture and mores in postwar Japan, particularly the loss of filial piety, but it's not just specific to Japanese culture. The film holds a mirror up to both parents and children, and if it is critical of those who fail to honor and love their elderly parents, it also shows that this is often a result of the parents having failed their children when they were younger. Tokyo Story should provoke an examination of conscience in viewers of every generation.

This week, to celebrate the season, we reflect on Martin Scorsese's mournful November crime classic, The Irishman, and discuss a large selection of movies, including Ozu's Tokyo Story, Todd Haynes' May December, and the latest installments of the MCU and Hunger Games series.

This week, we're reposting an episode on a film that has come up a lot since we watched it over five years ago, including during our last episode on Past Lives. If a film has stayed in the conversation as long as this one has, it is worth a second look to those who might have missed it.. Tokyo Story (1953), directed by Yasujiro Ozu.

Fasten your seatbelts, listeners: we're taking Clint's 2008 hit GRAN TORINO for a spin with racism expert (and native Michigander) Andrew Ti! This is a loaded one, gang: we talk about the film's lingering effect on the Hmong diaspora community, if it could have been made about any ethnic minority, whether the many slurs are intended to be funny, fatherly advice, and we try to sell Andrew on Clint's many other, better films. Plus there's a lot of Ann Arbor talk because Jake's dad is from there too. Great ep, check it out or we'll steal your car!

Kerry and Collin take a look at the 1994 crime comedy "Trapped In Paradise," starring Nicolas Cage, Dana Carvey and Jon Lovitz (the previously planned "The Holly and the Ivy" episode had to be postponed). How does this movie compare to other get-out-of-town crime comedies that also take place during Christmas? Is there such a thing as a "nativity sleigh"? What does any of this have to do with 1959's "The Aligator People"? All this, plus three films covered during Kerry's "We Just Say Book' segment. Book films covered: Make Way For Tomorrow (1937) Tokyo Story (1953) Moonstruck (1987)

It was about time we covered a Yasujiro Ozu film. The Japanese director is considered a legend and his Tokyo Story has consistently ranked in the Top 5 of the Sight & Sound polls for decades. He gives us a family reunion of a very unhappy family and slowly reveals why we should care about them. That takes quite a while. Ozu's trademark static camera shots are low to the ground. His characters are polite and withholding. And, yet, his style and substance wasn't a home run with both Ellises. Tokyo Story devastated one of us while leaving the other one moved, but much less so. Anyway, stroke that play button while you sit cross-legged on the floor staring off into space with a polite smile on your face. After all, life is disappointing, but we don't think our 510th podcast is. Residents of Japan can't get Sparkplug Coffee delivered to their front door, but Canadians and Americans certainly can.

Another Ebertfest has come and gone, and Matt & Ashley were in attendance. In our latest episode, we talk about the film festival's movies, guests, ups & downs, and just our overall thoughts about it.

With the streaming arrival of 2022 critical favorite EO, we took the opportunity to look at this rather unorthodox Polish film which provides glimpses of the range of human behavior, especially as pertains to treatment of animals, through the eyes of the titular donkey at its center. As our companion film, we review our fifth overall from the top ten of the 2022 Sight and Sound critics poll, Yasujiro Ozu's Tokyo Story from 1953, a classic of Japanese cinema that offers a methodical and patient peek at a dispersed family, tapping into some very relatable themes of generational drift and disconnect. Helping Dave and Joe wade through all this are returning guest Kyle Ferguson, our first proper Czech beer (sorry, Poland!), and a return visit to Hitachino Nest to see if can overcome the spoiled offering we had tried waaaaaay back in episode 5. It's a packed episode. Do it up! 

Ranking No. 4 on the British Film Institute's recently released Greatest Films of All Time poll was director Yasujirō Ozu's "Tokyo Story" (1953), which plays as a meditation on time and generational divides, set during a parents' trip to Tokyo to visit their adult children. In this episode, Mike and Brian discuss Ozu's visual approach and whether or not a film can be shot "objectively;" they talk pre- and post-war sensibilities; growing apart; trauma-bonding; and the disapointments that come with being stuck in transitional periods of familial or cultural change.

In this vengeful episode of the Gavin and Ruby Go To a Movie podcast, Gavin and Ruby come back from school to review some classic Asian cinema. They start with Yasujiro Ozu's slow moving portrait of family and loss Tokyo Story, and move on to the exact opposite Oldboy a fast paced action heavy bonkers story of vengeance. Sorry that we've missed so many dates, but we hope to get back on schedule soon. Thank you for listening!

It is indeed the episode a decade in the making! Here, in Episode 43, Team Vintage Sand puts in its collective two cents on the newly released Sight and Sound decennial poll of the greatest films of all time. It is a list referred to by no less an authority than Roger Ebert as “the best damned film list of them all.” But this time, was it a “woke” poll, reflecting more our need for political correctness than a genuine and deep understanding of film history, as old-timers like Paul Schrader proclaimed? Or was it about damn time that the old white men gave up at least some of the strangle hold they've had on the poll since its inception in 1952, as many younger critics proclaimed? Does this new list signify that the battle lines have been drawn irrevocably between older and younger film people? As always, the truth is never that simple. Team Vintage Sand tries to approach the poll by avoiding either extreme, oversimplified position, reaching, as ever, for the complex and embracing the gray. Does Akerman's "Jeanne Dielman" deserve its new place atop the rankings? Probably not, but it surely is a much better film than its position in the mid-30's for the 2012 edition of the poll suggested. And if the poll is so politically correct, why are there no films by the Mexican New Wavers here? Along these same lines, 16 of the 22 directors who have multiple entries on the list are white men; four of the remaining six are Asian men. Yes, there are no films by Howard Hawks or Roman Polanski. No Buñuel. No Lean. No Altman. No Demy, or Melville, or Resnais. No Sternberg or Stroheim. No Huston. No Malick. No Tarantino. No Anderson, be it Wes or P.T. No Coen Brothers. No Linklater. No Spielberg, for goodness' sake! No silent films in the Top 10, and all the silent films that are still there from 2012, with the exception of "City Lights", plummeted to the nether reaches of the list. (If anyone tells me that there are 20 films greater than "The Passion of Joan of Arc", it's ON!) And yet… …there's "Do The Right Thing" entering the list at #24. FINALLY. And there's Burnett's brilliant "Killer of Sheep". And Dash's "Daughters of the Dust". Maybe now someone will give her some money to make a second film, three full decades after she released a Top 100 masterpiece. And there, brand spanking new, are Jordan Peele and Barry Jenkins. And there's Agnes Varda's extraordinary "Cleo from 5 to 7" entering the list in the top 15. And my historical experimental film crush Maya Deren is finally here as well for her extraordinary and endlessly influential "Meshes of the Afternoon". And Claire Denis in the Top 10. And Jane Campion, Barbara Loden(!), Celine Sciamma and the aforementioned Julie Dash. If it took some “woke” (whatever that means) younger critics to put these artists in their rightful places in the pantheon, we'll take it. Ultimately, we recognize the silly waste of energy in trying to compare, say, "Jeanne Dielman" with "Tokyo Story" with "In the Mood for Love" with "Man with a Movie Camera". For us, this poll has one purpose only, and it's the same purpose that guides what we do at Vintage Sand: it opens doors. It takes us out of our comfort zone as viewers, and reminds us that there are vast aspects of film history about which we know little or nothing. So look carefully at Sight and Sound 2022 through this lens, check off the films you haven't seen yet or not in a long time anyway, and track them down. We'll bring the popcorn!

The 2022 edition of Sight And Sounds magazine's polls of the “greatest films ever made” were released last week, and since our entire podcast is about movies that have been on these decennially updated lists, we got together to share our reactions to the new ones.

This week's sketch is Gramburger Helper, inspired by Tokyo Story.Written and produced by Ryan SeyboldPerformed by Ryan Seybold and Jason Peters

Tokyo Story is a film that comes loaded with expectations given its recent anointment as one of the all-time pinnacles of cinema. However, it is entirely possible that the weight of these expectations has a tremendous and ultimately negative effect on the initial viewing experience, setting the film up to be a much larger and more grandiose experience than it ultimately is.In this episode, Jason & Ryan unpack their reactions to this esteemed film, and the many was in which it differs from preconceived ideas of what the film is and should be.#tokyostory #yasujiroozu #ozu #chishuryu #chiekohigashiyama #setsukohara #indiemoviepodcast #indiefilmpodcast #moviepodcast #filmpodcast #esotericacinema

Yasujirō Ozu's "Tokyo Story" is considered one of the best--IF NOT--the best film of all time. THE BEST FILM OF ALL TIME. Like, if Stranger Things went on 20 more seasons, "Tokyo Story" would be still probably the best film of all time and I don't explain that but I explain what it does to the human psyche. It asks ourselves very important questions that every human in society goes through and if it hasn't, it's gonna come and it comes hard. A film so simple but so beautiful at the same time. I explain the cinematography, the slow pacing and how the film reflects on family life and what's crazy is that this film came out in 1953 and its subject matter STILL resonates to this very day in our modern society. That's the power of cinema, that it can affect us in a deep way.
