Tokyo Polka (1997): cast, story & where to watch
1997 · Film

Released in 1997, Tokyo Polka is a notable film.
What it’s about. The opening bust-shot, with its frequent use of cut-away shots and blurred dialogue, is like a campus version of Ozu's films. As the story progresses, however, the film itself breaks away from a style that was as borrowed (but still very fitting) as the protagonist. The way the film acquires its own rhythm and flavour is more than just a pleasurable experience, it is a cinematic pleasure.
Who’s in it. Tokyo Polka stars Ryohei Sato.
