Join us this coming Wednesday for our first film night of term, where we will be screening the 2007 film 転々 (Adrift in Tokyo). Odagiri Joe stars as Takemura, a hopeless drifter of a student who has managed to rack up over 800,000 yen in debt and naturally has no way of paying it back. His situation seems helpless until one day, Fukuhara, the ruthless-looking debt collector who lent him the money, offers to cancel his debt simply if the student agrees to accompany him on a walk around Tokyo. So begins a quirky tour of the city by these two most-unlikely of companions, as we follow their wondering through the city and witness their interactions with the people around them. Through it all, the film gives us a humorous look at a myriad of topics, from cosplay and fake marriages, to annoyingly perky teens and small Tokyo retail establishments that have no conceivable way of paying their monthly rent. The film will be in Japanese with English subtitles.
