The strange world of Tokyo as it's shaped by the disparate people who live, work (and even run amok!) inside one enormous, constantly evolving, densely populated Japanese megalopolis - the ravishing and inimitable Tokyo.
Triptych, rhapsody, psychogeography, omnibus, urban valentine, freak show, mindwalk and many other things, TOKYO! is a fantasy in three movements that will make you see one of the world's greatest cities - if not any city - in unpredictable new ways.
From the directors of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Polax, and The Host comes a film that addresses the timeless question of whether we shape cities, or if cities shape us - in the process revealing the rich humanity at the heart of modern urban life.
“Tokyo! is a must-see for the Gondry segment, and a strange, diverting pleasure for the rest.” - Philadelphia Inquirer
