Six Hours: Surviving Typhoon Yolanda

In the middle of a broadcast about Typhoon Yolanda's initial impact, reporter Jiggy Manicad was faced with the reality that he no longer had communication with his station. They were, for all intents and purposes, stranded in Tacloban. With little option, and his crew started the six hour walk to Alto, where the closest broadcast antenna was to be found. Letting the world know what was happening to was a priority, but they were driven by the need to let their families and friends know they were all still alive. Along the way, they encountered residents and victims of the massive typhoon, and with each step it became increasingly clear just how devastating this storm was. This was a storm that was going to change lives.

Tokyo Decadence

Ai è una ragazza squillo per una agenzia di accompagnatrici di Tokyo. Tramite i suoi occhi, Murakami accompagna lo spettatore in un opprimente labirinto di perdizione cresciuto all'ombra della bubble economy.

La spropositata quanto ansiogena «ricchezza senza dignità» (come la definirà una collega di Ai) accumulata dal Paese, è pronta a rovesciarsi nella rovinosa recessione degli anni novanta. In Italia il film è distribuito da Lucky Red, in una versione accorciata di circa 30 minuti (da 135 a 92 minuti).
