Taxi: Honest Conversation in Tokyo
Cab cabs are small, intimate spaces. In the cab, away from the hectic pace of business and daily life, the driver and I tend to engage in honest conversation. The driver's real conversation is about the economy, his family's problems, or even his dissatisfaction with politics. What kind of picture would emerge if we were to link these conversations together? The film depicts the true feelings of ordinary people and the state of the world by following conversations in a Tokyo cab during the 72-hour period in which news of the inauguration of Abe's new cabinet was broadcast.
