An imaginative ode to Japan's capital told in three parts, Tokyo! is cleverly linked by themes of alienation, identity, and destiny. Michel Gondry's "Interior Design" kicks off the triptych, chronicling a peculiar metamorphosis with the director's trademark surrealist flair. Leos Carax's "Merde" moves from Tokyo's tenements into the sewers, where a despicable leprechaun-type creature awaits to gleefully terrorize innocent citizens, until his doppelgänger, a French attorney, intervenes. Bong Joon-Ho concludes the metropolitan love letter with "Shaking Tokyo," zeroing in on a recluse whose comfortable existence is disrupted by a series of violent earthquakes and a beguiling pizza-delivery girl.
