Japanese Movie Night – June 2025
J-Sei At The Movies (on Zoom)
Friday, June 13, 6:30 pm
J-Sei Movie Night is dedicated to the wonderful and fascinating world of Japanese cinema, as well as Japanese American and AAPI films!
Join us on Friday, June 13, to discuss a different kind of movie from the brilliant mind of filmmaker Ozu Yasujirō: his slice-of-life comedy GOOD MORNING / お早よう (1959), depicting a small community on the outskirts of Tokyo amidst a growing commercial, western-influenced landscape. Two young brothers, Minoru and Isamu, go on strike until their parents buy them a new TV; meanwhile, other households in the neighborhood deal with gossip and imagined slights, retirement and unemployment, romance and small talk. It’s a lighthearted but elegantly composed observation of contemporary Japanese life, filmed in brilliant color and full of good humor.
If you would like to join us, please RSVP to jill@j-sei.org with “June movie night” in the subject line to receive Zoom info prior to the event.
See you at the movies!
