Tokyo Sonata

This was a great foreign film that my wife picked to watch. I was impressed with the way the story is told from the point of views from every family member. I think there were many metaphors in the film on Japanese culture and of today's times. Bottom line is I enjoyed this movie very much and think you will too.




Netflix Summary:

From Japanese director Kiyoshi Kurosawa comes a drama about the Sasakis, an ordinary Japanese family living a bucolic life -- until the father is abruptly laid off from his job and decides to keep the news from his wife and kids. Soon, the father's sense of shame, and the indignity he faces while passing each day in the park in his suit and tie, quickly turns into a rage that proves to hold irrevocable consequences for all concerned
