‘Tokyo Reverse’, A Nine-Hour Film Featuring a Man Walking Backwards Through Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo Reverse is a nine-hour film starring 28-year-old Ludovic Zuili where Zuili walks backwards through Tokyo, Japan. The film, which is considered an example of the Slow TV genre, makes it appear as if everyone around Zuili is walking backwards by showing the footage in reverse. According to newspaper Le Monde, Zuili took dance classes in order to make his walking backwards appear more natural when shown in reverse. Tokyo Reverse was aired in full by French public television channel France 4 on March 31st.
