After serious, powerful arthouse dramas like Eureka and Sad Vacation , writer-director Shinji Aoyama returns from a four-year hiatus with Tokyo Park , based on a novel by Yukiya Shoji. One of the lightest, most playful films in the auteur's career, Tokyo Park is a gentle story about a young aspiring photographer, the three women in his life, the ghost of his roommate, and of course, the parks of Tokyo. At once a character study, a domestic drama, and a Tokyo travelogue, this Special Jury Prize winner from the 2011 Locarno Film Festival is a serene look at a side of Tokyo those outside the city rarely get to see. University student Koji (Haruma Miura) is an aspiring photographer who likes to take pictures of people at parks. One day, his capture of a woman and her baby attracts the attention of her jealous dentist husband. After discovering Koji's intentions, the dentist hires Koji to spy on his wife for him. Meanwhile, Koji is also trying to juggle his ambiguous, but platonic relationships with his dead roommate's girlfriend (Nana Eikura) and his stepsister (Manami Konishi). This edition includes making of, shooting locale featurette, deleted scenes, stage events, and trailers.
