Tôkyô Joshi Zukan (2016)
An artful portrait of humanity
Subtle, smart, refreshing, emotional, most of all silently hilarious. Tokyo Girl's cinematography and narrative style provide it with an air of simultaneous composure and playfulness.
Aya's character is artfully employed as both lens (to observe the vast range of people, places, and emotions encountered) and crucible (to constantly reforge the shape and feel of her pursuit of happiness / understanding of life). And an exceptional performance from Asami Mizukawa, despite her character being more of a vehicle for the show than the other way around.
The camera's perspective is a fairly objective one that captures a lot in a short amount of time. It might have you smiling, frowning, laughing, crying at moments where you can't say why it's evoking that particular response.
Banger electronic closing song.
