"I'll sleep with you" in Japan: Antoine de Maximy the land of the rising sun ...

Antoine Maximy

The project "Tintin cathodic Antoine Maximy is to visit one of many countries, without initial preparation, and land in places he does not know while filming his meetings (superficial or deeper) with small cameras allowing him freedom of movement as laid down on his clothes. The ultimate goal is to achieve an invite Homestay and even sleep there. All of this condensed into 52 minutes for each episode, watch in hand! This innovative concept has been a big ratings success on France 5 and DVDs that were fired were sold like hotcakes. I have a strong preference for the latter is devoted to its first part, to the vicissitudes of Maximy Japan. He explains in the bonus at the time of starting to shoot in Morocco he learned that the series would perhaps stop for lack of budget. He decided at the last minute to change his destination he believed to be the last to fly to Japan that he really wanted to know. And so he landed in Tokyo in improvisation the most complete, with only a hotel room for the evening (safety net in case of unsuccessful meetings). If the first moments were particularly difficult because of the language (see clip below) he was able gradually to adapt and make themselves understood by Japanese encountered.

We can also see in this story of extreme kindness and warm hospitality shown by the indigenous attitudes that break into pieces the myth that the Japanese would little binder and welcoming : Almost all people agree to stay for one night the "squatter" Maximy , which is far from always the case in other countries visited! The meeting with Suguimoto , cook in a restaurant French school is funny, especially when talking about the Japanese custom of hospitality, but also very emotional when talking about his dead wife. Not trivial either one with the surfer manager of a karaoke. But the moment the most hilarious is the traveler's encounter with cathodic owners of a car breaks provincial who warmly welcome him and offer the food and shelter. Sake and Japanese beer décrispent atmosphere and good humor that is installed in a memorable meal (see the hilarious little video clip below).

If we can do a little mischievous claims that the backpacker is not enough to show us the ancient Japanese sites, even if we understands that the improvised nature and precipitated the trip necessarily limited its tourism aspect. But we can only praise the beautiful humanity of Antoine Maximy , his humor as much as franchouillard british , and great listening skills that make confident nearly all of the people he meets during his travels. Human qualities that add to the richness of a change of scenery (and, dare I say refreshing) that Maximy is definitely the star, but almost the same way as those he meets and he is naturally value. This DVD is to have no hesitation even for those who have seen the program on TV because of the nice bonuses await, including deleted scenes cut editing, and a scene of 10-minute multi-angle (not to mention the second story devoted to the journey of Globetrotter in Ethiopia, he is also very interesting but irrelevant for my present chronic).
