I love Tokyo so when I was channel surfing and saw the title, I stopped and watched this short film. It was well-crafted, has great cinematography and the plot was good. I thought Tokyo Project was a series of stories that take place in Tokyo though. I wish that were the case so I'm disappointed that it's just one story.
I want that 30 minutes of my life back. I mean Jesus Christ was this awful from top to bottom. The only thing I liked was the camera work which did a decent job of capturing Tokyo. Other than that it was probably the most cringe-worthy "project" I've ever seen. The dialog is just creepy and poor, the constant piano music over conversations is annoying, the random zoom ins make it feel like a porno. I wish I could slap everyone who was a part of this thing in the face as hard as I could. Please if you are reading this and haven't watched save yourself from this garbage. I swear to God I could film a better story in my 1 bedroom apartment on my iPhone right now. Every scene feels overly dramatic and stupid. I think the producers just wanted an excuse to visit Tokyo and this crap is what came of their booze-fueled trip. I bet this whole thing was shot in 48 hours.
A treat to the senses. Well laid out. Nice insight into intimate emotions in turmoil. Great music but Who plays the piano? and Who composed the music? Would love to know... Congrats...

Short stories are always a challenge ... this one is a winner for sure ... mystifying ... holds your attention ... leaves you with unanswered questions ... is she his wife ... is she a stranger ... does she exist at all. If you love short stories read some by Flannery O'Connor. Or take a look at a 25 minute film called An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce ... read the short story and see the short film ... every college student with brain (they are hard to find today for sure) has seen this in any film appreciation course ... Tokyo Project felt somewhat similar to me ... loved it. Ignore the negative review, certain that viewer also disliked "Lost in Translation"
