Categories: Features
Average Rating:
Rated 0.0/5 Stars
My Rating:
Run time: 80 min.
“Tokyo Cowboys” follows the stories of four western men living long-term in Tokyo. The film's delicate and humorous portrait illuminates the price some pay for a taste of Tokyo's success. A wholly independent feature documentary, the film was shot over a two year period and captures a sense of time and place with stunning cinematography. Tokyo Cowboys explores the dreams and desires of ordinary guys made extraordinary by their goal to tame the wild, wild East. This is “Lost in Translation” for real.

Tokyo Cowboys at Lusher Charter School
Tokyo Cowboys had its New Orleans premiere yesterday at Lusher Charter School Uptown. Head of Media Studies and fellow Loyola Alumnus, Christopher Jeansonne invited me to speak about Elektrik Zoo's debut feature documentary, working as an independent filmmaker and how I got from Big Branch to Tokyo to London and back home again.

I was quite impressed with the students. They were engaged and informed, aware of the world around them, not afraid to formulate their own opinions and not afraid to call each other on faulty logic. I was also impressed with Christopher's curriculum. This term he is screening Ozu, Kurosawa, Kitano, Lynch, and Wenders among others. I was quite proud to have TC screen along side films by these great filmmakers.
