What critics compared I Was Born, But... to
Yet even the characters in something as lighthearted as 1932's I Was Born, But... ( ; Jan. 16) -- a delightful silent film about two young brothers whose family moves to a new town, which Ozu remade 27 years later as Good Morning -- are forced to contend with unexpected slights and hurts.
