Two rambunctious boys living in a Tokyo suburb are determined to have a television so that they can watch wrestling and baseball. Their father, who predicts that “TV will produce 100 million idiots,” refuses, and when told to shut up, the boys take the command literally and zip their lips—forever.
Ozu’s cinema is an inextinguishable enquiry into the idea of family and the clash between tradition and modernity. Boasting a gorgeously pastel color palette, Good Morning blends the Japanese master’s signature themes with disarming humor, making for one of the greatest childhood films of all time.
