The Brothers and Sisters of the Toda Family
(Toda-ke no kyodai)

Screening on Film

Directed by Yasujiro Ozu .
With Miecko Takamine, Shin Saburi, Hideo Fujino.
Japan, 1941, 16mm, black & white, 105 min.
Japanese with English subtitles.

This film, the first made in collaboration with Yushun Atsuta, who would become Ozu’s regular cameraman, was a great critical success. An account of the tensions which arise when a widow and her daughter move in with a married son, the film would also be Ozu’s first box-office hit. Shot during the war, the film found a receptive audience in the Japanese public which had been subjected to suffering, separations, and losses of its own.
