Country: Japan

An eclectic and compelling triumvirate of screen darkness, it would be a shame if this marked the end of the ‘Three’ experiment. How about a film from female directors for the next instalment?

There are so much better examples of Japanese comedy out there which means that ‘Time Trip App’ has very little to recommend it.

It’s extreme, it’s sleazy, it’s as mad as a bag of snails (and even features a woman who is half snail!) but it is a lot of fun.

An outstanding drama and so much more, ‘Tokyo Sonata’ is captivating arthouse cinema.

Really, whether ‘Tokyo Story’ is the greatest film of all time is irrelevant; it is undoubtedly a wonderful work of art that is fresh and poignant over half a century later.

‘Tokyo Tribe’ is the director on full expressive mode fusing hip hop, martial arts and an alternative Japan gone mad into a truly original whole.

‘Tokyo Zombie’ is more hit than miss in the comedy stakes and a welcome, and very Japanese, addition to the ever burgeoning zombie comedy genre.

A surreal ride with plenty of the filmmakers trademark weird creations and a tone that veers wildly from creepy to gross to bonkers black comedy.

‘Tomorrow’s Joe’ is undoubtedly entertaining for two hours or so, just don’t expect it to resonate beyond the duration.

‘Tora-San, Our Lovable Tramp’ is a fine introduction to a great cinematic series, one which should be appreciated worldwide.

While it may not be as solid as some of Shimizu’s earlier works, ‘Tormented’ is still an intriguing slice of horror that has a very strong set of visuals.

With a genuinely affectionate central romance, a captivating female lead and a hero who is believable, bewildering and ultimately winning, ‘Train Man’ is certainly to be commended.
