In Tokyo, a young man, Tomo, and his companion, Hiroko, have hardly any money left to their name. Convinced that their misfortune is part of a larger, unexplainable joke, they agree to throw themselves into all the encounters that come their way with the singular hope of defeating this joke before it plays out.
Reviews
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
