Tokyo Project

Some 14 minutes long. I expected it to be a pretentious take on art and I abhor self-indulgent pieces. That said, I was pleasantly surprised. I barely write reviews and the only reason I felt like typing this one out is because this film works as a nice, easy morsel, which isn't something you see too often. Take 14 minutes out of your busy day and distract yourself with this.

I had no idea or expectations as to what this short story was going to be about and I was very pleasantly surprised. So glad I watched it.

It is a short story and I love shorts. They can often be as impressive as a full length movie. The cinematography is great and you feel like you are in the city itself. Wish there were more pictures of the surrounding landscape though but the city is definitely the star.

The story starts off giving you the impression that an American businessman is looking to close deals in Tokyo while he is away from his wife. I don't want to give away too much but a friends makes a suggestion and you think things are going one way and there is a big twist and then another twist on top of that.

If you like adult dramas you will enjoy it.

I resisted twice - then I catch it the third time without changing the channel and it was surprisingly poetically beautiful. You have to be in slow-motion mode

I love Tokyo so when I was channel surfing and saw the title, I stopped and watched this short film. It was well-crafted, has great cinematography and the plot was good. I thought Tokyo Project was a series of stories that take place in Tokyo though. I wish that were the case so I'm disappointed that it's just one story.
