I have watched Yasujirô Ozu’s 1959 “Good Morning” (“Ohayô”) and thought it would work well with “Mon Oncle” and “Playtime”. Similar themes of miscommunication and misinterpretation, adult world vs children world, advent of consumer society (with particular emphasis on the TV), and, not least, one of the musical melodies (written by Toshirô Mayuzumi) present in Ozu’s film uncannily echoes Tati’s.
