Paris may be the City of Light and New York may never sleep, but there is an undeniable energy to Tokyo. In this anthology film, three renowned filmmakers--Michel Gondry, Leos Carax, and Bong Joon-Ho--each direct an imaginative featurette about the city. Gondry (BE KIND REWIND) presides over INTERIOR DESIGN, a film that features all the director’s hallmarks as it follows a couple who moves to the metropolis. MERDE from Carax (POLA X) centres on the eponymous character (Denis Lavant), a formerly sewer-bound monster who finds his way aboveground and begins to create chaos. Finally, Bong, the mind behind the international hit THE HOST, directs SHAKING TOKYO, a quirky romance about a hermit who forms an attachment to his pizza delivery girl.
