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.

“SILENCIO”

Due to an environmental catastrophe, the population has been forbidden to speak, as it consumes too much oxygen. Those who violate the rules will be punished with cancellation by the government. The population was forced to develop a new language system based on LIS (sign language). These changes have led to a new form of attraction to sound and noise.

To give the world a voice And you? What noise are you?
