Japan Society is screening the film November 19th as part of its film series, ‘Tokyo Stories: Japan in the Global Imagination’. It will be followed by a Q&a with Fran Rubel Kuzui, its creator, director and co-writer.
When I acquired Tokyo Pop for the U.S. market in 1988, none of us had any idea that this largely forgotten gem of ’80s American independent cinema by Fran Rubel Kuzui would bring such success to its director or star. Tokyo Pop’s name star, Carrie Hamilton, the daughter of Carol Burnett, was bound for stardom until her life ended prematurely (1963–2002).
The film itself is slated to be a classic, and, if I may say, it was perhaps the precursor to Sophie Coppola’s own classic, Lost in Translation.
Not only did we have no idea of what the future would bring for any of us who were then struggling to put U.
