Tokyo Pop (1988)

The names behind the production & restoration of the international 80s punk romcom Tokyo Pop can be a little jarring at first, but you quickly get used to it.  Kino Lorber’s recent Blu-ray release of the movie states that its restoration was made possible by the Jane Fonda Fund for Women Directors.  I did not previously know that fund existed, but it does track with Fonda’s keen, career-long…

I liked the part with the plastic food.

Tokyo Pop relied heavily on presenting Japanese culture, both traditional and alternative, as spectacle. I mean I liked seeing all the interesting people and places of course, but beyond that the script was remarkable only in how safe it played things. Some of it just looked like somebody's tourist footage and had basically nothing to do with the story.

Wendy (Carrie Hamilton) was charming and cute, and I liked Hiro (Diamond Yukai) for the most part, but their relationship was not very compelling. Lots of great outfits and music throughout, which helped ensure it was never a dull time even as the script lost my interest.

A formulaic and predictable rise-to-fame story, but reasonably entertaining.
