Wonderfully absurd hero-worshiping homage to Yasujiro Ozu.

Wenders bops around Tokyo with the assurance of a skilled filmmaker, and emerges with an understated but certainly curious sociological postcard of '80s Tokyo.

Wim Wenders is disappointed as he can’t find Ozu’s Japan in “modern” Tokyo. Hits hard as it’s now rare to find his version of Tokyo seen in most films from this era. Makes me want to buy a 50mm for my next trip
