Two Japanese micro-influencers have a disappointing holiday abroad.
Missing phones, rooftop noise gigs, and a sudden dance sequence await two friends who win a trip to Singapore, as they get lost amongst the country’s tourist traps and urban sprawl. A departure from Daisuke Miyazaki’s low-key dramas about Japanese youth (Yamato and the upcoming Videophobia), Tourism is an amusing riff on materialism, alienation, and shopping centre design.
“Tourism isn’t a romantic comedy, rather it’s an exceedingly simple road movie that is no less entrancing for its lack of dramatic ambition” - Sean Gilman, MUBI Notebook
