Good Morning
Synopsis
This movie takes a look at a Westernized suburban area in Japan in the late '50s. It focuses mainly on the daily lives of a small community and the way its members interact. It also demonstrates the power of oral communication and the way in which small talk acts as a lubricant for our daily lives.

CRITICAL RECEPTION
Good Morning has an 94% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Richard Brody of The New Yorker wrote about the film "Yasujiro Ozu’s poised images convey a bitterly ironic, scathingly radical rejection of Japanese codes of self-restraint and silence." Jonathan Rosenbaum of Chicago Reader praised the film describing it as "Perhaps the most delightful of Yasujiro Ozu's late comedies". Leonard Maltin gave it three of four stars: "Brightly hued remake of Ozu's own equally sharp I Was Born, But... updates the material but retains his wry take on the Westernization of Japanese society." In 2009 the film was ranked at No. 36 on the list of the Greatest Japanese Films of All Time by Japanese film magazine Kinema Junpo.
