Synopsis
Tokyo Taxi (2025) is a Japanese drama from Yoji Yamada you can watch online on iFILM. Cab driver Koji Usami picks up a simple fare: take 85-year-old Sumire Takano to a seaside care home.
She asks for a few detours along the way, and each stop pulls another piece of her long life into view — love, ambition, the things she left behind. The further they drive, the less it feels like an ordinary shift. Chieko Baisho plays Sumire opposite Takuya Kimura behind the wheel. Nearly the whole film unfolds inside one moving taxi.
Yamada, a giant of Japanese cinema and the director of The Twilight Samurai, shapes a quiet story about a stranger who ends up holding someone's entire history. Gentle, unhurried, leaning on performance rather than plot twists — one for fans of slow-burn Japanese drama. Stream Tokyo Taxi (2025) online on iFILM.
