about
Shot with a mix of smartphones and GoPros, filmmaker Taku Aoyagi takes us on his daily bike rides as an Uber Eats worker. But pedaling on Tokyo’s deserted streets, delivering boba tea to cloistered condos, he starts to wonder… what was it that Ken Loach said about the Uberization of society? And what does gig-work offer an unemployed young person with student debt?

Critical Acclaim
What makes Tokyo Uber Blues special is its realistic approach, but even more so its honesty. Aoyagi does not shy away from the hurdles in the journey he shows... Although some are humorous, as a result of the director's unwillingness to back down from his initial plan, others are quite heart-breaking, especially when you witness the emotional change in this young man, who you really want to succeed and conclude the “quest” he has given himself.
