Tokyo Giants
Provost focuses on everyday scenes, from a couple arguing to lost drunks in the hyperkinetic city at night. There is the suggestion of a murder, probably planned by the Yakuza. Provost doesn’t tell the story, but does incorporate the classic crime genre’s tension. Surreptitious music, meaningful glances, cell phones and sirens create powerful suspense that is never resolved.
