Transient

Rating: 6/10 (17 January 2004)

A simple portrait of two people with little focus in their lives sharing a few moments with each other in Tokyo.
When you leave the cinema, you quickly realise that the film has no backbone or message of any kind - either from the writing or direction. This is cinema at its most transient; with good cinematography but few persistent images, absorbing dialogue but no characters, form but no structure.
