Tourism

Tourism is a slacker comedy from Japan, following two friends who win a trip to Singapore and get lost among the tourist traps and urban sprawl. Missing phones, rooftop punk gigs, and a sudden dance sequence await them on their journey. Director Daisuke Miyazaki has made a name for himself with low-key dramas about Japanese youth (Yamato and the upcoming Videophobia) but Tourism isn't really a drama - it's an amusing riff on materialism, alienation, and shopping centre design.
