@TheVarnster You could also say - everyone who 'thumbs up' this trailer is probably the type of person who is interested in architecture, urban planning and design on an intellectual level.

The Q&A for this film at the Toronto Film Festival was quite interesting (especially compared with a lot of the fluff sessions one usually gets at such events). You can find it on my channel, or by viewing this one: =AbHPTWnz01A

I just saw the movie, was very dissapointed that they didn't talk about Tokyo. They just showed a few seconds here and there. The way Tokyo is designed makes the person feel so good, like in an adventure. Thats how I felt anyways and would've liked to know more about it.
