Japan Japan

Directed by Lior Shamriz

Imri, a young, handsome ex-soldier from the Israeli countryside, now lives in Tel Aviv with plans to move to Japan. In a lackadaisical purgatory, he hangs out with his roommate, does a poor job at work and looks for love and sex - often unsure of the difference. Like many guys in their early twenties, Imri is dealing with adult challenges while behaving in a juvenile manner, just waiting for that defining event that will make him a man.
Japan Japan is a spare, intimate film about a young Israeli man drifting through Tokyo in search of connection and escape. Lior Shamriz favours mood and dislocation over narrative, creating a film that feels deliberately unsettled and personal.
