Tokyo Project

Just viewed this 2017 short on "HBO" called the "Tokyo Project" and I must say it was a well done little story of escape, chance, luck, and discovery of an ever lasting memory! Set in Tokyo, Japan(a city that I one day want to visit it's on my bucket list!)it centers around two adults one a business man named Sebastian who's traveled to sell his new products and inventions, and along the way a photographer named Claire(the wonderful Elisabeth Moss)is seeing the sights of the city and snapping plenty of shots, only by chance at a dining and bar type place the two meet then after an attraction get together for some passion and hot romance between the sheets! Only this was just a one night stand, not love. Still this short proves that passion and chance meeting is the best way that passion is made as love hurts and is uncertain and may not last forever as making memories of pleasure and intimate feel are never forgotten as this short showcases the theme so well.

Holy wow what a piece of junk script and acting! All I could think about was how I couldn't stand looking at their faces any longer. Only the three stars because of the shots of Tokyo. I wish both actors were ghosts and I wasn't able to see them!

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 want that 30 minutes of my life back. I mean Jesus Christ was this awful from top to bottom. The only thing I liked was the camera work which did a decent job of capturing Tokyo. Other than that it was probably the most cringe-worthy "project" I've ever seen. The dialog is just creepy and poor, the constant piano music over conversations is annoying, the random zoom ins make it feel like a porno. I wish I could slap everyone who was a part of this thing in the face as hard as I could. Please if you are reading this and haven't watched save yourself from this garbage. I swear to God I could film a better story in my 1 bedroom apartment on my iPhone right now. Every scene feels overly dramatic and stupid. I think the producers just wanted an excuse to visit Tokyo and this crap is what came of their booze-fueled trip. I bet this whole thing was shot in 48 hours.
