This has many elements of the typical Ozu film. A study of inter generational relationships. A post war Japan struggling with modernity. The low shot and exquisite framing. But there are some significant differences.
It’s in colour.
And it’s a comedy.
With a lot of fart jokes.
Starring the world’s cutest kid doing whatever he can to get his parents to buy a tv.
In other words, it’s perfect.
