Two things that Yasujiro Ozu teaches us: that change is ineluctable, and also deeply tragic. We look at the Japanese master's 1959 film GOOD MORNING and discuss modernity vs. tradition, why not all "progress" is progress, and Ozu's boundless capacity for empathy. PLUS: we check in with our old pal Michael Moore

I'll listen to this soon, but here's a movie request, if you guys are still looking for mid-2000s artifacts: Gay Republicans (2004), whose premise sounds like "Gay republicans, what a concept!"

I enjoyed hearing about your evolving relationships to Ozu. I only just started watching the films about four years ago, in my early thirties, so I relate to the sense Will mentioned of their added weight from having lived through "an epoch." I wonder if you've both seen Early Summer, my favorite of his films and the one I find the most emotionally affirmative -- for someone who's always had a bit of a fractured relationship to biological family, it really tugs at me to witness the kind of unconditional love it documents.
