Miki Satoshi’s ADRIFT IN TOKYO Coming To Canadian DVD!

Oh, this bit of news makes Todd a happy boy ... Miki Satoshi’s Adrift in Tokyo is a big favorite of mine and the Joe Odagiri - starring, gently absurd comedy will be getting a prompt R1 DVD release thanks to new Montreal-based start up Evokative Films.  The deal is for Canada only - no idea at all if a US distrib has picked it up as well - but this means that it will at the very least be available for easy import on R1 DVD for our American neighbors.  This is just the second pick up for Evokative but they’re looking to be an intriguing little imprint.  Their first title is Cedric Anger’s Le Teuer and they’re negotiating now on some other interesting titles to round out the lineup ...

    I also believe that indie house Sponge here in Korea will be screening this (in the fall?), so a handsome low-priced English-subbed (region 3) alternative to the Japanese release should soon follow.

    I wouldn’t hold my breath hoping for an english-subbed korean release. Going by recent releases, I’d say the chance is pretty much nil.

    Satoshi is going to be at the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. this Fall for some screenings of this film and others.
