Synopsis

Prefiguring Tokyo’s Story’s generational themes Ozu’s finely-honed family drama, Brothers And Sisters Of The Toda Family is a critique of bourgeois frivolity that achieved great success on its release in wartime Japan. After the death of her husband, Mrs Toda and her youngest daughter receive a frosty welcome from extended family. Duty collides with self-interest in this inclusive satire.
