Tokyo Fiancée (2014)

Based on Amélie Nothomb's bestselling novel, 'Tokyo Fiancée' is an entertaining romantic comedy that will appeal to fans of Jean-Pierre Jeunet's 'Amélie' and Sofia Coppola's 'Lost in Translation'. The young, pixie-like Amélie (Pauline Etienne) is in love with all things Japanese, which prompts her to buy a one-way ticket to Tokyo in order to completely immerse herself in Japanese culture. She offers to work as a French tutor, and soon finds herself enjoying a passionate relationship with her first student, the charming Rinri (Taichi Inoue). As the two explore the joys (and awkwardness) of their first real romance and the colorful city around them, many cultural barriers fall...but some still remain.
