Brothers and Sisters of the Toda Family
Capsule by Jonathan Rosenbaum
From the Chicago Reader

This 1941 film is one of the few upper-class family dramas by Japanese master Yasujiro Ozu, and the domestic furnishings and how they're framed help make it one of his most visually ravishing works. The events center on the untimely death of the father. In Japanese with subtitles. 105 min.
