Kyoko Ito
In a playful critique of Japanisme, the craze for Japanese art and design in Europe in the mid-1800s often rife with misunderstanding and projection, Honeymoon recasts the wedding scene of the opera and film Madame Butterfly.
In the throes of an existential crisis, an aging director decides to travel to Japan to film the tour of his son's rock-band, PEROPERO. His partner Emma acts as producer as they follow the band's performances in a string of live clubs across Japan. When the director falls hard for the young Japanese tour manager, both the film shoot and his life threaten to fall apart.
Pink film by Hiroyoshi Takishima.
