Tokyo Project

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.

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.

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.

I really liked this. I don't want to give anything away but it's really worth watching if you see it's going to be on TV. I thought it was quite a different kind of film, also great acting, cinematography and nice music.

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.
