Good Morning
お早よう
1959 · Comedy/Drama/Family · Japan
1h 34m

A lighthearted take on director Yasujiro Ozu’s perennial theme of the challenges of intergenerational relationships, Good Morning tells the story of two young boys who stop speaking in protest after their parents refuse to buy a television set. Ozu weaves a wealth of subtle gags through a family portrait as rich as those of his dramatic films, mocking the foibles of the adult world through the eyes of his child protagonists. Shot in stunning color and set in a suburb of Tokyo where housewives gossip about the neighbors’ new washing machine and unemployed husbands look for work as door-to-door salesmen, this charming comedy refashions Ozu’s own silent classic I Was Born, But . . . to gently satirize consumerism in postwar Japan.

조금 (많이) 가벼운 동경 이야기 같은 아이들의 이야기. 하지만 그 가운데서도 대사만으로 극을 이끌어나가는 야스지로의 각본은 여전히 빛을 발한다
