Ozu: Good Morning

(video by hamami36)

Good Morning (Ohayô), a movie made by Ozu in 1959: two boys beg their parents for a television set, nagging them until all patience is lost. The parents order the boys to be quiet and the boys do exactly that--refusing to utter a word. The boys' silence ultimately puts the whole neighborhood into turmoil (Jim Beaver); unbearably cute (Joel Barhamand); very cool movie (loophole41). The plot follows loosely the situations from one of Ozu's silent movies (I Was Born, But..., made in 1932). Fine comedies both.

From my favorite actors, Chishu Ryu plays in Good Morning.
