Films for Families Good Morning

Good Morning (Yasujiro Ozu, 1959) is the great Yasujiro Ozu’s lightly satirical portrait of family life in consumerist Japan. The film follows two young brothers who take a vow of silence when their parents refuse to buy them a new television set. Told in the gentle rhythms of everyday life, the film critiques consumerism in the suburbs of Tokyo. Full of subtle gags and a stunning sense of color, the lighthearted film is a rich portrait of an intergenerational family’s relationships. (93 mins., DCP)
