Tokyo!
Three tall tales. one big city.
Directed by Michel Gondry, Bong Joon Ho, Leos Carax
Produced by ARTE France Cinéma, Wild Bunch
A surreal, darkly playful anthology that blends grotesque comedy with moments of tenderness, using Tokyo as a canvas for three tales of isolation, connection, and transformation.
Three distinct tales unfold in the bustling city of Tokyo. Merde, a bizarre sewer-dweller, emerges from a manhole and begins terrorizing pedestrians. After his arrest, he stands trial and lashes out at a hostile courtroom. A man who has resigned himself to a life of solitude reconsiders after meeting a charming pizza delivery woman. And finally, a happy young couple find themselves undergoing a series of frightening metamorphoses.
