  • Summary: In Tokyo!, three of the world's greatest filmmakers come together for an omnibus triptych examining the nature of one unforgettable city as it's shaped by the disparate people who live, work (and even run amok!) inside one enormous, constantly evolving, densely populated Japanese megalopolis - the ravishing and inimitable Tokyo. Triptych, rhapsody, psychogeography, omnibus, urban valentine, freak show, mindwalk and many other things, Tokyo! is a fantasy in three movements that will make you see one of the world's greatest cities - if not any city - in unpredictable new ways.

  1. Tokyo! is a must-see for the Gondry segment, and a strange, diverting pleasure for the rest.

    Carax, who hadn't made a movie since "Pola X" in 1999 comes off best.

    An experiment that rarely works this well.
  4. Anyone looking for something original or unexpected should check out the trio of short films that comprise this entertaining ode to the titular city.

    Ingenious and visually appealing. 3 different tastes of film-making in a unique city=unforgettable movie experience. Just see it.

    Interesting, although uncompelling. With the possible exception of Boon's, the films really do not have anything to do with Tokyo or Japan in particular, as you could have dropped the stories and characters in any dense urban locale and come away with the same outcome. Expand
