Tokyo, Japan’s busy capital, mixes the ultramodern and the traditional, from neon-lit skyscrapers to historic temples. The opulent Meiji Shinto Shrine is known for its towering gate and surrounding woods. The Imperial Palace sits amid large public gardens. The city's many museums offer exhibits ranging from classical art (in the Tokyo National Museum) to a reconstructed kabuki theater (in the Edo-Tokyo Museum).
Brussels is Belgium’s capital and home to the European Union headquarters. The Grand-Place square at the heart of the city has shops and cafes inside ornate 17th-century guildhouses, and the intricate Gothic Hôtel de Ville (town hall) with a distinctive bell tower. The 19th-century Maison du Roi houses the Musée de la Ville de Bruxelles city-history museum, including costumes for the city’s famed Manneken Pis statue.
Satori Stress (1984)
Leaving Europe to look for Akiko, Jean-Noël discovers her city, the exotic Tokyo. A documentary on everyday life in Tokyo, its KABUKI theater, its nostalgic TAKENOKOZOKU dances, its thousands of suit-and-tie executives, its geishas, its Western style marriages, its tranquil green areas, its pulsating nightlife... Yet, the commentary, which deliberately often strays away from the images, throws into question the objectivity of the documentary film. Here, what we see is inseparable from the experience of its young maker as he cast a loving eye on a people and its culture. GRAND PRIX NATIONAL DU FILM DE REPORTAGE ET D'AVENTURE 1984 ORIGINALITÉ DE L'AVENTURE VÉCUE ORIGINALITÉ DU MONTAGE MEILLEUR COMMENTAIRE Parti à la recherche d'Akiko, Jean-Noël découvre sa ville, Tokyo l'exotique. Documentaire sur la vie quotidienne à Tokyo, ses nuits chaudes, son théâtre KABUKI, ses danses nostalgiques de TAKENOKOZOKU, ses milliers de cadres cravatés, ses geishas, ses mariages à l'occidentale, ses quartiers campagnards... Mais le commentaire, en un décalage délibéré par rapport à l'image met en question toute l'objectivité du document filmé. La vision ici est inséparable du vécu du jeune réalisateur qui pose sur un peuple et une culture un regard amoureux. Fictional documentary by Jean-Noël Gobron Length: 75' - 16 mm & 1" - colour French or English version - 1984
