On this episode of Japan 2.0, David and Matt discuss Satoshi Miki’s Adrift in Tokyo.
This is a movie that is right up our alley. A movie about wandering aimlessly through the streets of Tokyo, it’s basically the Japan 2.0 story (okay, not really). But it is a wonderful slice-of-life film that takes quirky characters, strange natural phenomenons (like what happens when you put a wire coat hanger on your head), and a dash of magical realism which all adds up to a must see movie if you are either a fan of Japan and/or Japanese cinema. If anything, the movie poses the question, could a new tube of toothpaste change your life?
If you haven’t seen Adrift in Tokyo before, we recommend that you watch the film before listening to this episode, because this is a spoiler filled discussion on a movie that has earned the Japan 2.0 seal of approval.
