Why we chose it

Michel Gondry (“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”), Leos Carax (“Holy Motors”) and Bong Joon-ho (“Parasite”), three great directors, bring three very different stories to one city. In their hands Tokyo turns magical, surreal and melancholy, and extraordinary things start to happen.

Synopsis

Tokyo is split into three stories. In one, a couple come in from the provinces to make films and can’t find anywhere to live, and in another a dangerous creature climbs out of the sewers speaking a language that doesn’t exist. The third belongs to a man who hasn’t left his home in years, until an earthquake strikes and a pizza delivery girl faints on his floor.
