Tokyo Twilight stands out among the Ozu films I have seen. It’s got much more drama and action.
It’s buried in a Criterion DVD set. I wish it got its own release on Blu-ray.

It’s great that they’re showing so many of her Ozu films. I recommend Tokyo Twilight which is never talked about as one of Ozu’s best – I think it’s excellent. https://t.co/NI5yLL6NcS

Tokyo Twilight @FilmForumNYC Ozu is a master ironist whose image repertoire is closer to Nicholas Ray's in its impulsive ardor than to Bresson or Dreyer's in ecstatic restraint, whose poised performances mask bitter critiques of narrow norms & traditions: https://t.co/ag0SbA8H1V

In the thick of the industrial hums and billowing smokestacks, Yasujiro Ozu’s TOKYO TWILIGHT is one of his unequivocal masterpieces, a devastating postwar drama illuminated against the fading light of day.
