What they share

Both films are directed by Hiroshi Teshigahara, and they sit in Documentary territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hokusai, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Tokyo 1958 is

*Man with a Movie Camera* without Vertov. Nine directors document everyday life in the world's largest city. The postwar boom is palpable, as is the avant-garde zest to document it.
