I Was Born, But...
I Was Born, But... (大人の見る絵本 生れてはみたけれど, Otona no miru ehon - Umarete wa mita keredo lit. An Adult's Picture Book View - I Was Born, But...?) (1932) is a black and white Japanese silent film directed by Yasujiro Ozu. It became the first of six Ozu films to win the Kinema Junpō Critics' Prize. Ozu later loosely remade the film as Good Morning in 1959.
