Map of the Sounds of Tokyo

Map of the Sounds of Tokyo is a 2009 Spanish drama film directed by Isabel Coixet. The film competed in the main competition at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival. The film is the story of a young lady working nights at a Tokyo fishmarket while taking on jobs as a hitlady. The movie has been criticized for misrepresenting Japanese culture – a scene in the movie depicts nyotaimori as if it were commonplace in Japan, while in reality it is nearly non-existent.
