Appropriately the last black and white Ozu film, Tokyo Twilight maintains his signature style despite its tragic melancholy...Beautifully photographed and framed, the story flows naturally and gently and retains hope.

Reviews for Tokyo Twilight
Watch it and be reminded that open lines of communication between generations are vital if an extended family is to remain intact.
As powerfully understated as anything by the Japanase master, and unquestionably his darkest film.
This rarely screened, melancholy 1957 film, Ozu's last in black and white, is one of his best.
