A reminder that Arts and Humanities is hosting the third and final presentation in its East Asia Film and Lecture Series tomorrow, Nov. 5 from 6-9 p.m. in the Trutter Center. There is no charge to attend.

The film “Tokyo Story” (1953), will be shown, followed by a discussion led by Elizabeth Oyler, associate professor of Japanese and director of the Center for East Asian and Pacific Studies at the University of Illinois, Urbana/Champaign.

“Tokyo Story,” directed by Yasujiro Ozu, has been described as a profoundly stirring evocation of elemental humanity and universal heartbreak. The film, which follows an aging couple’s journey to visit their grown children in bustling postwar Tokyo, surveys the rich and complex world of family life with the director’s customary delicacy and incisive perspective on social mores. “Tokyo Story” plumbs and deepens the director’s recurring theme of generational conflict, creating what has been called “one of cinema’s greatest masterpieces” (Film Comment) and “one of the three greatest films ever made” (Sight and Sound Critics’ Poll 1992).
