Tokyo-Ga - Pachinko & Mu

Scenes from the documentary movie Tokyo-Ga, by Wim Wenders (1985).
Language: english
Subtitles: spanish

Those scenes show two visits to a pachinko parlor somewhere in Tokyo. First we see different people playing pachinko. Even a person that gets a price. Later at night, when the shop is closed, the owner modifies the machines.

The movie is a documentary about the filmmaker Yasujiro Ozu. It also includes several short scenes about live in modern Tokyo, like pachinko, golf in city…

   They’re a somewhat more involved alternative to a slot machine - all you do on those is pull a lever.
