Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Tokyo Twilight is a 1957 film directed by Yasujiro Ozu.Shukichi (Ozu regular Chishu Ryu) is a bank executive. He is a single father—his wife ran away years ago—with two daughters, elder daughter Takako (another Ozu regular, Setsuko Hara) and younger daughter Akiko. Both daughters have troubled lives. Takako has left her husband Numata, and is living with her father along with her little daughter Michiko. Akiko turns out to be pregnant by her loser boyfriend, Kenji.While trying to find Kenji, Akiko stumbles across Kisako, a mahjong parlor operator who seems strangely knowledgeable about her family. When Takako hears about this she figures out that Kisako is, in fact, their long-lost mother.Not to be confused with another, better-known Ozu film, Tokyo Story.

Darker and Edgier: It's a good deal darker and bleaker than many of Ozu's post-war films, being more unsentimental about the Japanese nuclear family, and likewise dealing with the generation gap, as well as women's sexuality and abortion.

Arranged Marriage

Arranged Marriage: Several Ozu films took a dim view of this practice and this one is no exception. In an early scene Shukichi apologizes for pushing Takako into a marriage with Namata, and says he should have let her marry a different man, the one she liked. A brief twitch of emotion before her face settles back into a mask of pleasantness is the only reaction Takako makes.

Good Girls Avoid Abortion

Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Averted. Akiko gets an abortion, and nothing bad happens to her—well, to be more accurate, something very bad does happen to her, but the abortion is not the reason why.

Glorified Sperm Donor: Glorified Egg Donor, as Kisako starts to insinuate herself in her childrens's lives after 20-odd years away.
