Tokyo was the inspiration for three short films made by three
different directors from three different countries. Shot in the
heart of the city, they reflect the image of the metropolis.
Interior Design by Michel Gondry is the surreal fable of a
young couple who move to Tokyo. The boy wants to be a
filmmaker. The girl drifts gradually apart. Both of them will
be drowned in the immensity until the girl, feeling alone,
discovers something strange…
Merde by Leos Carax tells the story of a mysterious man
who spreads confusion on the streets of Tokyo through a
succession of irrational and provocative acts. “The Creature
of the Sewers”, as the media have dubbed him, arouses
passion or repulsion. He will be captured, judged, and
then…
The protagonist of Bong Joon-Ho’s Shaking Tokyo is a
hikikomori, someone who has withdrawn from all contact
with the outside world. When the pizza delivery girl fains
during an earthquake, the unthinkable happens – the man
falls in love. Will he leave the dead security of his apartment
for the streets of Tokyo?
