Tokyo Project

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.

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 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.

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 just watched it twice. Once last night. and once this morning.

I liked Tokyo. I liked the tight shots of the eyes. it is just a tender lovely movie that is totally worth watching twice. maybe even a third time

The actors did a great job. the movie makers made a great movie
