Tokyo Sonata
A film by Kiyoshi Kurosawa
Starring Teruyuki Kagawa, Kyoko Koizumi, Kanji Tsuda, Koji Yakusho
“FILM OF THE WEEK! Lovely, elusive, transcendent.” — Time Out Chicago
TOKYO SONATA is a portrait of a seemingly ordinary Japanese family. The father who abruptly loses his job conceals the truth from his family; the eldest son in college hardly returns home; the youngest son furtively takes piano lessons without telling his parents; and the mother, who knows deep down that her role is to keep the family together, cannot find the will to do so. From the exterior, all is normal and the same. But somehow, a single, unforeseeable chasm has appeared within the family, threatening to disintegrate them. Director Kurosawa’s use of light and dark to express a sense of simultaneous hope and horror verges on awe-inspiring and the ending will leave you enthralled.
