Tokyo Girl (2019)
Directed by Nebiro Hashimoto
Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
A maximum-speed, sonic-visual collage that pierces the spirit of the contemporary zeitgeist through the perspective of a young woman navigating it. Featuring Mako Hiragi’s monologue and on-screen text, the film was produced in January of 2019, and very much situated in this window at the end of the Heisei era and before the commencement of then-nameless Reiwa. Endlessly creative, possibly nauseating, highly addicting, and super-relatable, Tokyo Girl is an intimate stimulus overload.

Viewing Notes
Neat short film about this young woman documenting her year in 2019 at a rapid pace, both in imagery and voice over. It’s another sorta kinda slice of life film, which have been popular at JAPAN CUTS this year, but the delivery makes this one challenging not in a good way. The dialogue (subtitles) is so fast that for non-japanese speakers you will spend the entire time reading rather than watching the visuals. The visuals are quick clips around Tokyo and in this girl’s home. I actually watched this twice in a row, first time to read the subtitles and the second time to just watch the images.
