Tokyo Oasis 東京オアシス (2011)

Tokyo Oasis

Touko was an actress that left her latest filming set and came across 3 different people by chance. first, she hitched a ride with Nagano, who misunderstood that she was committing suicide while hitching a hide by the busy roadside. later, she went to a small theater and met with Kikuchi, who was a former screen writer that currently worked in the theater. lastly, she met with Yasuko, who was studying for her college entrance exam and planned to apply for a job at the zoo.

having only 4 main characters, the movie doesn't seemed to have enough space to expand its storyline. with such detailed interview-like conversation, i felt that we were supposed to care for these 4 characters, yet failed to find myself getting anywhere near nor felt engaged in any way. expecting the movie to give out something just by some random conversation was too high an expectation. it was way too dull, boring, and completely uninteresting, unworthy of its time.
