Tokyo-Ga is a 1985 documentary film directed by Wim Wenders, about Japanese filmmaker Yasujirō Ozu. An international co-production of the United States and West Germany, the film was shot in spring 1983. Its focus ranges from explicit explorations of Ozu's filmmaking—Wenders interviews Ozu's regular cinematographer, Yuharu Atsuta, and one of Ozu's favorite actors, Chishū Ryū—to scenes of contemporary Tokyo, featuring pachinko machines and plastic food displays. Wenders introduces the film as a "diary on film."{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1985/04/26/movies/the-screen-tokyo-ga.html |title=The Screen: 'Tokyo-Ga' |accessdate=July 27, 2019|date=April 26, 1985|work=www.nytimes.com}}
