Product Description
A bright Tokyo suburb buzzing with gossip is the backdrop to Ozu s cheerful comedy, Good Morning. Disillusioned with the seemingly meaningless talk of the adults around them, two brothers take a vow of silence when their parents refuse to buy them a television. With a dexterously woven plot, built on mishaps and misunderstandings, Good Morning pokes fun at the silliness of everyday chatter whilst gently acknowledging its fundamental necessity.
Also included here is Ozu s superb early comedy I Was Born, But... The forerunner of Good Morning, this silent masterpiece contains many similar themes but a darker edge. As brothers Ryoichi and Keiji struggle to outwit the local bully and scale the pecking order in their new neighbourhood they find out that injustice does not end with school.
Extra Features:
- Standard Definition and High Definition presentations of Good Morning (DVD & Blu-ray)
- Standard Definition presentation of I Was Born, But... (DVD only)
- Newly recorded score for I Was Born, But... by composer Ed Hughes and the New Music Players
- Fully illustrated booklet features newly commissioned sleevenote essay by silent film curator Bryony Dixon and contemporary review by Jonathan Rosenbaum

This is a heartwarming film about little boys growing up in postwar Japan. The boys want their father to buy a TV for the family, but he doesn't want to,so they think up different ways to make him change his mind. This gives us a glimpse of what family life was like in 1950s Japan. Highly recommended.

Ozu's films are wonderful and this applies to the films in this set. But there appears to be a problem with the bluray region code. It says region B but does not play either in a region B nor a region A player.
