In a heartfelt, emotional story that pre-dates Italian neorealism, the homeless wanderer Kihachi (Sakamoto) tries to find a more stable life for himself and his two boys. Their lives are changed when Kihachi meets an old acquaintance and a single, similarly homeless young mother. Presented here with the original synchronized score, Ozu’s final silent movie is one of the director’s finest achievements.
