To Tokyo – DVD

Description

In an ancient Japanese village (filmed on location) lurks a silent, strange, English girl named Alice. Alice is hiding from her monstrous Step-father when an actual Monster drags her into the diverse, beautiful, wilderness of her traumatised mind. (filmed on location in South Africa) Here she finds herself face to face with her inner demons that threaten to consume her. With her mind on the line, Alice has four nights to traverse the dreamscape, confront her inner demon, and make it to the neon, metropolis; TOKYO! Where she will have to face all the other monsters in her life if she wants to heal her family. TO TOKYO is a psychological thriller set in Japan with a strong central female performance. It was beautifully photographed in a grand selection of South African ecosystems and Japanese cities. Accompanying these stunning visuals and mesmerising performances is a powerful and moving score by Dr Trevor Jones (The Last of the Mohicans, Mississippi Burning, Labyrinth, Notting Hill, Angel Heart.) “.one of those rare. entirely off-radar British debuts that feels like a discovery. To Tokyo scores high on dreamy-bordering-on-nightmarish atmosphere. a masterclass in engrossing, show-don’t-tell film-making.” The Guardian
