Summary
The film opens with an absurd dialogue between the camera and a live mannequin behind a store window. Chris Marker slings his camera over his shoulder and, together with actress Arielle Dombasle, blends into the crowded subway tunnels and the clamor of the morning market.
This experimental documentary captures the feeling of getting lost in the crowds of a major metropolis and the hidden rhythm of everyday moments. Steps left to the flow of the street transform Tokyo’s mental map into a personal video diary.
