Round About Midnight

“𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶?” “𝘉𝘶𝘴𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴.” A perfect picture all around. Jazz. Yakuza. Running around. All soaked in film and neon that it’s hard not to romanticize it all, just as everyone naturally does with Tokyo itself. This is my Tokyo. This very film is what I love about all the jazz bars in Jimbocho or coming out of Disk Union with a levity and enlightenment, the very lightness of being that comes once a blue moon in the rare breeze of August nights. The Japanese After Hours (https://letterboxd.com/bulgogiboi/film/after-hours/) that freefall rushes, never drags.
