Review of Make Way for Tomorrow (1937) by Martin T — 22 Sep 2009
A moving (and depressing) story of how we treat our aging parents, the perfect thing to guilt you up. You could call this an American version of Tokyo Story, and I'd be surprised if it wasn't an influence on Ozu.
Other than the wonderful performances by Victor Moore and Beulah Bondi, there's nothing spectacular about the film, but it is very realistic, honest, and sensitive. The ending is one of the most touching scenes I've witnessed for some time, it certainly brought a tear to my eye.
