When Ryuhei Sasaki (played by Teruyuki Kagawa) is unceremoniously dumped from his `safe' company job, his family's happy, humdrum life is put at risk. Unwilling to accept the shame of unemployment, the loyal salaryman decides not to tell anyone, instead leaving home each morning in suit and tie with briefcase, spending his days searching for work and lining up for soup with the homeless. Outstanding performances; serene, elegant direction; and Kurosawa's trademark chills are evident as he ratchets up the unsettling atmosphere and the grim hopelessness of Sasaki's unemployment.

Tokyo Sonata is an intriguing mix of esoteric culture, manic depression, and inferiority complexes stretched out to span this nigh-on magical film. It follows a family caught up in their own world, struggling to hold it together. Inevitably, the family discintegrates, impacting everyone.
The Tokyo sonata played in the film is a truly mesmerising, enchanting piece that is wonderfully played and serves as a tie to hold the film together.
If you like pseudo 'documentaries' that reveal a lot about culture, family, and traditional values, this is for you. Highly recommended and wonderful to watch throughout.
