Tokyo! (2008)

Tokyo! 2008 / Tokyo! 2008 / Salinui Chueok , 東京狂想曲

Three short films compose the movie. Each segment is freely inspired by Tokyo and shot in the heart of the city. ‟TOKYO!‟ is a symphony interpreted in three dissonant parts, reflecting the image of the metropolis. 1. ‟Interior Design‟ by Michel Gondry The surreal fable of a young couple who moves to Tokyo in search of a future. While the boy's ambition is clear - be a movie maker- the girl drifts gradually apart. Both of them will be drowned in the immensity until the girl, feeling alone, discovers something strange... 2. ‟Merde‟ by Leos Carax A mysterious man spreads confusion on the streets of Tokyo through a succession of irrational and provocative acts. ‟The Creature of the Sewers‟, as the media have dubbed him, arouses passion or repulsion. He will be captured, judged and then... 3. ‟Shaking Tokyo‟ by Bong Joon Ho He is a hikikomori - like many others in Japan, he has withdrawn from all contact with the outside world. When the pizza delivery girl faints during an earthquake, the unthinkable happens - the man falls in love. Will he take the unimaginable step of leaving the dead security of his apartment for the streets of Tokyo?
