The always innovative Michel Gondry directs 1/3 of a new cinematic triptych entitled Tokyo!. Tokyo! opens March 6 in NYC at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema.
The film consists of three parts, each directed by a different director. Gondry‘s piece, entitled “Interior Design” tells the tale of a young couple trying to find their way in Tokyo only to find themselves dealing with a surreal, transformation situation. Leos Carax presents the viewer with “Merde”, the bizarre story of a malicious subterranean creature’s short-lived reign of terror over Tokyo and the resulting trial and media circus. The final featurette, directed by Bong Joon-Ho, is called “Shaking Tokyo” and it revolves around love between a shut-in and a pizza delivery girl.
Directors MICHEL GONDRY and LEOS CARAX will be present for in person Q&A sessions during selected screenings throughout the NYC opening weekend (March 6-8).
Tokyo! was such a great film! I thoroughly enjoyed watching it and can’t wait for the DVD to come out June 30th
