Tokyo Cowboy by Marc Marriott – USA | 118 minutes | International Premiere

Hideki is a businessman looking to turn a struggling cattle ranch into profit-turner with a plan to sell Wagyu beef, all while juggling plans to marry his long-term girlfriend, his co-worker Keiko. To do this, he switches environments and flies from Tokyo’s forest of skyscrapers to Montana’s wide plains. Under the big skies, he makes the mistakes expected of city slickers, such as stiff sartorial decisions like keeping his salaryman suit on to falling off horses that ruin said suit. However, in his efforts to win over sceptical ranch hands and friendly locals, he learns to loosen up and appreciate the people he meets and understand the places he is in, thus helping him grow.

An easy-going and big-hearted adventure about overcoming cultural boundaries, it is filmed with a wide scope for beautiful landscapes and the pleasant characters who inhabit them, the whole experience is pleasing and it might inspire people to go to Montana and try the cowboy way of life.
