Film description

The sky above Tokyo connects several interwoven stories. Aspiring actress watching "Betty Blue" and cheap porn. A student of the Academy of Fine Arts experiencing a sexual initiation. Two girls from a hostess restaurant, one of whom writes a book about the other. A couple discussing culinary eclecticism. A model from China is listening to the sounds coming from the neighboring apartment. Hiroshi Ishikawa's characters accept the coincidences that everyday life in Tokyo throws at them without a hint of surprise.

"tokyo.sora" is a melancholic record of meetings and coincidences, revealing the paradox of urban life – no matter how big the city is, cinema will always find a way to turn a metropolis into a microcosm. Ishikawa's film shows Tokyo as a series of non-places and cramped apartments, a space suspended in timelessness, and its inhabitants as individuals without a destination, constantly wandering around in search of intimacy. "tokyo.sora" may seem careless and modest, ephemeral and fragmentary, like a haiku composed of sounds coming from behind a wall. Like no other film, it portrays Tokyo's loneliness in the 2000s.
