Sons of Loki

"Let's never come here again, because it would never be as much fun."

I love this film. As I tell everyone, I hated it the first time, loved it the second. I love this film because of Tokyo, and I love Tokyo because of this film. I remember someone in Metropolis once called it (specifically Scarlett Johansson) “the reason why we’re all here in the first place”, which is stretching it as a little, but as a stunning depiction of all the glamour of Tokyo and all the loneliness and alientation and existential angst of actually living there I think it sums things up.
