Bonjour

Ozu’s Tokyo suburbs swap zen discipline for domestic mutiny when two boys stage a vow-of-silence strike over missing television. A family comedy unfolds as parents misread protest for petulance while neighbors judge laundry upgrades like stock tips. The film’s polite satire suggests consumerism breeds comically stifled households.
