Description: Good Morning (Criterion Collection) [New Blu-ray] Title: Good Morning (Criterion Collection) Format: Blu-ray Label: Criterion Collection Genre: Foreign-Japanese, Comedy Video UPC: 715515198011 Release Date: 2017 Good Morning (Criterion Collection) BLU-RAY A lighthearted take on director Yasujiro Ozu’s perennial theme of the challenges of intergenerational relationships, Good Morning (Ohayo) tells the story of two young boys who stop speaking as an act of resistance 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 childish protagonists. Shot in stunning Technicolor and set in a suburb of Tokyo where housewives gossip about the neighbors’ new washing machine and unemployed men look for work as door-to-door salesmen, this charming comedy reworks Ozu’s own silent classic I Was Born, But . . . to gently satirize consumerism in postwar Japan.BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration from Shochiku Co., with uncompressed monaural soundtrackI Was Born, But . . ., Yasujiro Ozu’s 1932 silent comedy masterpiece, with a score composed by Donald Sosin in 2008Surviving excerpt from A Straightforward Boy, a 1929 silent film by OzuNew video essay on Ozu’s use of humor by critic David CairnsNew interview with film scholar David BordwellNew English subtitle translationCOMEDYDirector: Yasujiro OzuYear: 1959WIDESCREENAspect Ratio: 1.33:1COLOR93 MinutesLANGUAGE: JapaneseENGLISH SUBTITLESCopyright DirectToU LLC.
