All the
awards it won had puffed up my expectations about Tokyo Sonata. It is an
interesting, ordinary film, about the life of a nuclear family in
Japan. It can viewed as an effective socio-cultural commentary about urban
life in Japan at the turn of twenty first century.
The actors have been
honest in their portrayals, the characters are well thought out
and executed. Although set in Japan this can be a story that can happen
anywhere, we are just viewing it through a Japanese lens (hehe aren’t
all lenses originally Japanese – Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji…)
