日本连续剧《北国之恋》以温情慈爱的笔触,描写家庭亲情之爱,人性之爱。离了婚的父亲带着一对儿女从东京来到充满田园风光的日本北方小岛生活。影片细腻地描写他们从学校走入社会工作,成家立业,生儿育女。剧中人物尽管有着各种不如意的生活经历和自己无法掌控的现实,但他们最终都能战胜所面临的逆境,更加理解身边的人和事。 该剧首批81年在日本播出后,便成为家喻户晓的剧目。87年至2002年,又每年一次地用同班创作人员和演员,演出新的剧集。这种近乎纪录片的手法,也是它获得25-30%收视率的原因之一。 《北国之恋》被赞誉为“高尚精美的人性戏剧”,在日本多次获奖,该剧剧本还被选为日本高中语言教材,其拍摄地点日本北方小岛后也成为热心观众争相游览的旅游景点。

Good Morning (1959)
お早よう
★ 8.7 155 ratings
other title: Buon giorno / お早よう …
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.
