Families, generations and distance
Tokyo Story’s visit, memories in Wild Strawberries and a child’s perspective in Bicycle Thieves compare family as relationship rather than backdrop. Notice who has time, who cares for others and who remains outside conversation.
What to watch for
Compare two meals or journeys. Who speaks freely and who waits? Avoid reducing relationships to good versus bad characters.
