Tokyo-Ga

Wim Wenders / DE, 1985 / 92 min.

Inspired by the great Japanese filmmaker Yasujiro Ozu, Wenders travelled to Tokyo to record this rich essay film. “I was curious as to whether I still could track down something from this time, whether there was still anything left of this work”, Wenders says in a voiceover. " Images perhaps, or even people…. Or whether so much would have changed in Tokyo in the twenty years since Ozu’s death that nothing would be left to find?”
