Description

Tokyo Ride, a unique portrait of the Pritzker Prize Ryue Nishizawa in the streets of Tokyo. A film by Bêka & Lemoine. Tokyo Ride, a unique portrait of the Pritzker Prize Ryue Nishizawa in the streets of Tokyo. The film was screened in some festivals in 2020 gaining a heartfelt and warm response from both the audience and the critics. _____ After the multi awarded Moriyama San, Tokyo Ride is a new step of Bêka & Lemoine's immersion within Tokyo's busy daily life. Revisiting the genre of the road movie in a very diaristic and personal way, the film takes us on board of Ryue Nishizawa's vintage Alfa Romeo for a day long wandering in the streets of Tokyo. More than a portrait, in the classical sense, of one of the most talented and celebrated Japanese architect of today, the film renders in its pure spontaneity the experience of this friendly urban drift. Ryue Nishizawa narrates along the way his strong relationship with his home town through some sites he personally affectionates, buildings that have influenced him, and some of his own architecture projects. The film questions how rooted architecture practice is and how much the built and cultural environment feeds and shapes our imagination.
