در تمام فهرست‌های معتبر، فیلم داستان توکیو در رده‌های بالای بهترین آثار تاریخ سینما دیده می‌شود. در کنار فرمِ ساده اما در عین حال بی‌نقصش، فکر می‌کنم داستانِ فیلم دلیل اصلی این توجه است. داستانی که سرراست و بدون حرف اضافی، ماجرایی را به تصویر می‌کشد که عینِ زندگی است. درست مثل زندگی، گاهی خنده‌آور است، گاهی خسته‌کننده و البته اغلب غم‌انگیز.

اوزو در غالب پدر و مادرِ فیلم، نگرانی خود از فروپاشی خانواده و دوری اعضای آن از هم را نشان می‌دهد. نشان می‌دهد که چقدر این مسئله برایش دردناک است اما به آن لب

From the Criterion Collection notes: "A profoundly stirring evocation of elemental humanity, 'Tokyo Story' is the crowning achievement of the unparalleled Yasujiro Ozu.

کیوکو: زندگی یأس‌آور نیست؟
نوریکو: چرا، هست.
کیوکو: (با لبخند) مواظب خودت باش.

Anything that Donald Richie has his name on it I will get it and read it. But also when it deals with one of the great films of the 20th Century, "Tokyo Story" it's a must. The screenplay on a page by no means replace the actual images on the screen (or on dvd) but it's nice to have it near the Criterion edition of this remarkable piece of work.

Richie wrote the translation and also the notes. If anyone here haven't seen the film, please do so. Ozu is one of the greats.
