Winner of a Special Mention at the 1987 Locarno International Film Festival, ROBINSON'S GARDEN is a rare, radical vision of a marginal, multicultural Tokyo. Think Punk Rock rather than City Pop (the soundtrack features Jagatara, Hamza El Din, and Yoichiro Yoshikawa), this film offers a stark contrast to the sights of financial prosperity brought forth by the films of the Economic Bubble era. Lensed by Tom DiCillo (LIVING IN OBLIVION, JOHNNY SUEDE), it instead shares much in common with the No Wave films the cinematographer pioneered alongside Jim Jarmusch (STRANGER THAN PARADISE). An unsung, anticapitalist masterwork.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container mx-auto my-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-4 md:w-7\/12 mx-auto text-center font-body text-base\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e                                   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e        \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the filmmakers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"C9DxTc\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e            \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMasashi Yamamoto was born on 24 January 1956 in Oita, Japan.
