About

You can stream Tokyo-Ga (1985) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.

German director Wim Wenders tries to explore the Tokyo that was depicted in the films of Yasujiro Ozu and finds a very different city.

Neon lights and restless crowds replace the quiet, sliding doors of mid-century Japanese cinema. Wenders captures a city caught between its cinematic ghosts and a frenetic, modern reality.
