東京ポルカ (1997) : distribution, intrigue et streaming

Released in 1997, 東京ポルカ 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. 東京ポルカ stars Ryohei Sato.
