Ozu's Tokyo Monogatari

[David Putnam]

Does anyone know why Yasujiro Ozu's "Tokyo Monogatari" is his most famous 
film (although many Japanese have not seen the film they know the title). 
Does it have a story that appeals to the majority of Japanese People, or did 
the actors and actresses give an outstanding performance? What do you 
believe?
