Wasn't for me. I found it to be

Wasn't for me. I found it to be too cutesy, crude, and monotonous in the settings of the homes literally connected. After about the 17th fart 'joke' and the 5th crapped pants one, I was done with this one. There are some nice scenes at times. I liked this kids better than the women characters (esp. the woman with rotten teeth- yeesh). A scene with two older men is a nice bit of filmmaking. The one is a father in the movie, the other a recently retired pensioner who is struggling to make it without a steady job and the measly pension the government pays him after his 30 years of servitude. I'm still struggling to find a Japanese director I really like outside of Kurosawa. Still more into Chinese and Korean directors as far as Southeast Asian filmmakers go. 2.4 stars

The synopsis sells the movie short. This isn't

The synopsis sells the movie short. This isn't just about a couple of kids who want a TV, this is a true reflection of suburban life, both accurate and humorous.

I watched this film by watching the criterion

I watched this film by watching the criterion closet video of Paul Dano, where he gave a shout-out to this Ozu film. It was a blind check for me. But the movie really blew me away based on it's realism in social lives of people around us how they over-react according to the situation just like nosy neighbors also the most greatest part about the film was the small kid 'Isamu' he stole the show. The way he speaks English anybody could have an 'awww' moment. The generational conflict shown in this film is the main plot point of the film. Where for us Television is a medium of knowledge and everything but for elders back that time it was a tool of spoiling kids minds. A great film to recommend everyone.
