Tokyo Magic Hour is a masterpiece

Rai needs to get his eyes and his head checked. He obviously knows nothing about Derek Jarman or any other experimental films. Muhammad's TOKYO MAGIC HOUR is a stunning Asian re-interpretation of the Western avant-garde. Muhammad engages the queer perspective of Jarman with his own combination of image and poetic text (a re-working of Jarman's ANGELIC CONVERSATION), and juxtaposes this with sequences that refer explicitly to the American Underground and Japanese experimentalists. But it's not a compendium, it's a sharp, insightful analysis into experimental film from a uniquely talented Asian filmmaker. Watch this movie!
