Tokyo Is Dreaming

🎞️ Movie 68 min --
โ˜… 7.8 /10 2008

A rich and evocative tableau of life in the Japanese capital, set to a beguiling score by Calexico's John Convertino. This portrait of the bustling metropolis offers a modern-day take on the City Symphonies that flourished in early 20th Century cinema with films such as Man with a Movie Camera. Like those earlier opuses, Tokyo is Dreaming uses the camera to observe the beating heart(s) of urban life - work, travel, leisure but also alienation and homelessness - subtly drawing a map of the city in which quiet contemplation and frenetic activity overlap.
