Synopsis
While featuring key figures from Tokyo’s avant-garde music scene of the mid-2000s, We Don’t Care About Music Anyway… offers a kaleidoscopic vision of the megacity, juxtaposing music with noise, sound with imagery, representation with reality, and fiction with documentary. Beyond the music and performances, the film explores the future and modes of existence of an entire city and society.
A word from Tënk
An open-air landfill, a crowded subway corridor, an abandoned building… We're transported into a Tokyo that is both futuristic and retro. In these unusual spaces, artists play live, blending the sounds of the city with the ones they create—or perhaps it's the other way around. Gaspard Kuentz and Cédric Dupire skillfully immerse us in the universe of these performers, revealing more than just the strangeness of a city. Each, in their own way, questions a way of life, a society, and a need for rebellion. Like the artists, We Don’t Care About Music Anyway… blurs the lines between seriousness and play, between music and noise, between music and life. Both an immersion into a unique world and a sensory experience, it’s a journey not to be missed!
