How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gentle, observant comedy about two boys who stage a silent protest against their parents' refusal to buy a television, which becomes a prism for examining the quiet tensions and absurdities of postwar Japanese family life. Ozu's color palette and eye for domestic comedy transform everyday frustrations into something both deeply funny and melancholic.
