Better than average film about "modern" day Tokyo in contrast to the idyllic Tokyo from Yasujiro Ozu's films. There are times when the documentary strays from the subject matter into bizarre detours into a prop food factory and a golf stadium. Wenders also sounds a bit too monotone at times which reminds you of his German new wave compatriot Herzog. For fans of Ozu's work this can't be missed.

A must see for Ozu fans, a sort of documentary/film travel diary. Consists of a lot of footage of then contemporary Tokyo, and clips from Tokyo Story. Also an interview with Chishu Ryu. The must see portion though is all due the interview with Ozu's long time camera man. He gives wonderful insights into how the master worked and thought.
