- Synopsis
- In post-war Japan, a man brings a lost boy to his tenement. No one wants to take the child for even one night; finally, a sour widow, Tané, does. The next day, complaining, she takes the boy to his neighborhood and finds his father has gone to Tokyo; it seems the boy has been abandoned. Tané wants to leave him there, but he follows her home.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"[The film] may be slow-moving by Hollywood standards, but Record of a Tenement Gentleman rewards patience with rich sentiment that's never mawkish."
-
"Curtain after curtain is lifted as this formidable film exposes a Japan unknown to most."
-
"A warm comedy of life in postwar Japan, warm in the way only Yasujiro Ozu's cold and formal style can be."
-
"This is Ozu in optimistic mood, which is not to say that loss and resignation don't figure in large part, just that here the generosity of spirit seems irresistible."
-
"Ozu reveals his directorial genius, which is confirmed by his light handling of his splendid ensemble cast."
