American Films in Tokyo

[Mitch Cullin]

While not an American film, Clare Law's "The Goddess
of 1967" is set both in modern Tokyo and the Aus.
outback.  Would Paul Schrader's "Mishima" count as
depicting modern Tokyo?

"As the movie industry becomes more like the merchandising industry, the book business becomes more like the movie industry.  There's more pressure.  I think it's very difficult to be a young writer today.  I fear that young writers, after one or two books, will disappear the way young film directors do."  --Don DeLillo
