I received my DVD right before my recent trip over there. I watched it on the way to Tokyo (on a 12″ Al Powerbook and noise cancelling headphones) and again (on a big screen and proper Dolby Digital sound) when I returned home.
The movie does a good job portraying the sensory overload of Tokyo and the various islands of calm that can be found in that big big city. It connects at many levels and I’d gander that most foreigners who visit Tokyo on a regular basis can relate to many things in the flick.
Anyhoo, here’s a rundown of some of the places that Bob and Charlotte visit in the movie. And if you’ve not seen it yet, go do so. Tonight.
Then book your trip.
