"Sometimes I wonder... what it'd be like to just run away." Buffalo 8 has revealed an official trailer for an indie romantic drama called
One Night in Tokyo, reminiscent of
Before Sunrise &
Before Sunset, even a bit of
Lost in Translation. After premiering at the 2024 Cinequest Film Festival, it's being released on VOD in February for anyone who wants to watch. Betrayal spawns an unexpected night through the streets of Tokyo for two strangers left questioning the meaning of life and love. Sam arrives in Tokyo only to have his trip unexpectedly cut short when his expat girlfriend breaks up with him. Stuck for the night while he waits for his new flight, Sam makes an unlikely friend in Ayaka, a young Japanese woman who reluctantly takes him out for the night in the city. The indie film stars
Reza Emamiyeh as Sam and
Tokiko Kitagawa as Ayaka, with
Cailee Oliver,
Shinichiro Watanabe, and
Mika Ahn. This looks really sweet and charming. Of course now I want to go back to Japan & get lost running around Tokyo, too. This is really worth a watch. //
