Koji Fukada’s black comedy short may top-and-tail with a shocking revelation, but it’s the comedy elements throughout that make this little tale of modern day city life an enjoyable watch rather than an over-emotional drama.
“East of Jefferson” is screening at Vesoul International Film Festival of Asian Cinema
Yuri (Yuri Ogino) and Tatsuya (Tatsuya Kawamura) have met on a night out and move on to a love hotel to do what young people do. But, on closer inspection, Yuri suspects that Tatsuya may in fact be one of her estranged brothers, following her parents’ divorce. This leaves Tatsuya with the indignity of, rather than having sex, calling his older brother Tsuyoshi (Tsuyoshi Kondo) to come to the love hotel and confirm if Yuri is indeed his sister.
The trio discuss their younger days and the story seemingly holds true with numerous parallels in their lives and shared memories.
