“Tokyo!”, a cinematic triptych by three major directors (Michel Gondry, Leos Carax and Bong Joon-ho), a trio of short stories whose commonality lies in its setting of one of the world’s great capital cities.
Gondry’s, ‘Interior Design’ is a hilarious coming-of-age tale as two naive artists move to the big city.
Carax’s, ‘Merde’ is a surreal, slapstick re-working of Godzilla with Denis Lavant emerging from the sewers to terrorise the populace.
Bong Joon-ho evokes the spirit of Murakami with a love story in which a recluse finds his ten years of solitude interrupted by a pretty delivery girl and the inevitable earthquake.
Tokyo! also provides, for those who are familiar with the culture, an insightful look at the metropolis and the people that inhabit it.
