Review of Tokyo Sonata (2008) by Skyler B — 12 Sep 2012
Kiyoshi Kurosawa created one of the most irresistible, unique and realistic social dramas of our times. It's a tragicomedy that doesn't stop to impress with its harsh take on one family's struggle to overcome the overpowering crisis.
When their lives start spiraling out of control, every one of the members goes on a refreshing and difficult journey into solitude and liberation. The movie doesn't explain most of its bizarre touches, but this is exactly what makes the movie so enchanting.
What's disturbing is that this is what may actually happen to every one of us in this hard times. While the peacefulness and tranquility of the lives are interrupted, the ending is sure to bring some happiness into this stark and impressive drama.
