British producer and longtime Tokyo resident Lorenzo Fantini debuts his first film, Edonism, at restaurant-club 57 in Roppongi this weekend. Directed by Fantini’s painter/writer/filmmaker cousin Alessandro, the film focuses on James (Sacha Muhlebach), who arrives in Tokyo with wife Sophie (Lucy King) but soon becomes an alcoholic and slips into a coma. When he is revived, he discovers shocking truths about his notions of reality. The screening and after-party are being held after a sold-out showing in July.
