Synopsis

Adrift in Tokyo movie scenes

Leading a lazy life, Fumiya has been a student for 8 years and owes money to loan sharks. One day, a man named Fukuhara comes to collect the loan, which Fumiya cannot pay. So Fukuhara makes a proposition: He will cancel the debt as long as Fumiya agrees to walk with him across Tokyo to the police station of Kasumigaseki, where he intends to turn himself in for a crime he deeply regrets. Not having much choice, Fumiya accepts the deal. Thus begins their journey. Based on the original novel by the 125th Naoki Prize winner Yoshinaga Fujita.

    Adrift in Tokyo Adrift in Tokyo OFFICIAL TRAILER Quirky Indie Drama Starring Joe

  • “Satoshi Miki makes a Masterpiece. ...Miki puts together a great comedy from start to finish.”

    • Adrift in Tokyo Review Adrift in Tokyo

    Mark Schilling, The Japan Times

  • “Together, (Odagiri & Miura) make for good cinematic company. Their trip through Tokyo shows us the city from a perspective we may not have seen and reminds us that the world is full of small and large beauties...”

    • Jay Seaver, eFilmCritic

  • “... has the kind of low-key, effortless charm that most movies sweat for. ... it is a masterpiece of throwaway lines and little oddities. This is a lovely film that should not be missed.”

    • David Austin, Cinema Strikes Back

  • “...one of the five best films in the world for 2008. It’s just as good on second viewing. ...a meandering, quirky and surprisingly beautiful piece of work that perfectly balances humour and emotion.”

    • Todd Brown, Twichfilm

  • “...a droll charmer. ... gently but heartily amusing throughout...”

    • Russell Edwards, Variety

  • “... a comic stroll that is indeed aimless, but consciously, introspectively, and out-of-left-field hilariously so.”

    • Aaron Hillis, The Village Voice

  • “...before I knew it I was hooked in and in step with two characters as they lead me on a walking tour of Tokyo and their pasts.”

    • Emer Schlosser, Inside E Online
