It is rare for a film to score 100% on Rotten Tomatoes but this silent comedy-drama from Yasujiro Ozu does so.

It looks at family life through the eyes of two young mischevious brothers, new to their Tokyo neighbourhood, bullied at school and outraged when they discover their authoritarian father is less important than they believed.

With an introduction by film journalist and Silent London blogger Pamela Hutchinson.
