Synopsis

Tony Takitani is an illustrator who has been alone all his life, until he meets a beautiful woman who transforms his world. The only problem is that she has a secret, she is a compulsive shopper with a penchant for high-end couture fashion that leads to darkly satiric consequences.

“A dream of a movie. Both literary and totally cinematic, TONY TAKITANI captures Murakami’s seductive, singular style.”
– Newsweek
