Tony Takitani

Tony Takitani (トニー滝谷) is a 2004 Japanese film directed by Jun Ichikawa, based on the short story by Haruki Murakami.

[1] Takitani Shozaburo, a jazz trombonist from Japan, spends the Second World War in China.

Several days after acknowledging the issue, she decides to drive to her favourite boutique to return a coat and dress.

After having returned the clothes, Eiko initially feels a sense of release, but whilst waiting at a traffic light, she begins to think about their colour, style, and texture.

Tony is completely distraught and sets about hiring an assistant, Hisako, with the one condition that she should wear his wife's clothes to work.

Two years after his wife's death, Tony's father dies, leaving behind his trombone and his collection of jazz records.

Tony lies on the floor of the now-empty room, mirroring the position of his father in the prison cell in China.

The website's consensus reads: "Despite its deceptive wispiness, this delicately lovely and melancholy film about loneliness has a haunting power.
