Brother's Keeper & Good Morning

Brother's Keeper is a depressing little documentary, because it's about a family of four brothers, and when one dies in slightly interesting circumstances, one is arrested for the murder. Then it gets horribly depressing in just how screwed up everything becomes when the prosecution horribly botches the investigation and the local community rallies around the brothers.

Good Morning has some of the most immature fart jokes in a movie. What the hell was the point? Shame that they were in an otherwise interesting Ozu movie about petty jealousy, Japanese culture, and television. Plus an almost constant string of fart and poo jokes. It also has a completely immobile camera. Which isn't apparent at all. Lots more cuts in this than in Tokyo Story.
