Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot during actual COVID lockdowns, the empty Tokyo streets aren't production design—they're documentary reality bleeding into fiction.
Matsui explicitly structured this as a response to Jarmusch's 'Night on Earth,' but swapped the anthology format for one devastating, uninterrupted farewell.
