Dir. Michel Gondry, Bong Joon - Ho, and Leos Carax.

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
