Sunma no aji (1962) er originaltitlen på den japanske mesterinstruktør Yasujiro Ozu’s sidste film. For en sjælden gangs skyld en film i farver fra hans side, men emnet er velkendt: Efterkrigstidens Japan og dens indflydelse på familielivet i hverdagen. Shuhei (Chishu Ryu) er en aldrende enkemand, hvis tre børn alle er afhængige af ham, ikke mindst hans 24-årige datter, som stadig bor hjemme, men som imod sin fars ønske burde se sig om efter en mand.
A lighthearted take on director Yasujiro Ozu’s perennial theme of the challenges of intergenerational relationships, Good Morning tells the story of two young boys who stop speaking in protest 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 child protagonists. Shot in stunning color and set in a suburb of Tokyo where housewives gossip about the neighbors’ new washing machine and unemployed husbands look for work as door-to-door salesmen, this charming comedy refashions Ozu’s own silent classic I Was Born, But . . . to gently satirize consumerism in postwar Japan.
