Being Two Isn't Easy (私は二歳, Watashi wa nisai, lit. I am two) is a 1962 color Japanese comedy film directed by Kon Ichikawa.[2] It was Japan's submission to the 35th Academy Awards for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but was not accepted as a nominee.[3][4]

Style

Ichikawa utilized the screen personas of popular stars Fujiko Yamamoto (glamorous, restrained) and Eiji Funakoshi (hapless, self-conscious) to make the child's independence and frequent endangerment believable.[5] The director contrasts Chiyo's well-coiffed, reactive approach to motherhood by shooting Misako Watanabe as her sister-in-law in a sensuous, intimate manner as she bathes her own newborn.[5]
