Ahhh - so Velcome to Japan A place of the fantastic, where three oddball fairy tale twisted fantasies merge to create an entertaining film broken across three partsMichael Gondry delivers an adaption of a comic book by Gabrielle Bell called Cecil & Jordan in NewYork or Interior Design as it is called here. After the misstep of Be Kind Rewind, Gondry is back into his head messing stride with a tale about a couple in Tokyo looking to buy their own place. Whilst the guy goes about getting funding for his nutty film project meeting the great and the good, his girlfriend takes on the apartment hunting but feels left out. And in body-horror style she begins to transform into a chair.
This opening sets a nice pace which then ramps up with the second tale called Merde. Director Leos Carax delivers the stand out of the three Tokyo! Tales where a strange, red haired man goes on a mental rampage through the city. Licking, flicking cigarettes at babies and generally causing havoc. This crazy guy lives in the sewers and it isnt long before his playful mischief has a bodycount as on one of this forays through downtown Tokyo he brings a load of hand grenades cue random death a go go...Finally is the weakest of the three tales called Shaking Tokyo directed by Joon-ho The Host Bong. This is a romance of a sort where a guy who likes to stay indoors develops a crush on a pizza delivery girl. The path of love however does not run smoothly because she likes his hermit like way of life so much that she shots herself away too. Will the man venture outside to find the girl he fancies?
Tokyo! is thought provoking and engaging throughout, certainly worth checking out if youve a taste for something a little more weird than youre average viewing. Three highly creative directors deliver excellent value as you get to experience surrealism, horror and love all in quick succession.
Enjoy!
