In postwar Tokyo, beloved writer-professor Hyakken Uchida retires and is buoyed through hardship by the fierce devotion of his former students, who honor him each year with a raucous "Not yet!" birthday toast. Told in warm, gently comic vignettes, Kurosawa's farewell celebrates aging, friendship, and the sustaining ritual of teacher and pupils refusing to say goodbye.
Madadayo has generally received very positive reviews.
