A few days ago I surfed into the trailer for an interesting new independent film called Tokyo! which will be released in a few weeks on march 6th. I doubt I will be able to catch it at any local theaters but from the description and trailer alone I am very excited and looking forward to watching this film.

About the film
From what I can peice together from various sources Tokyo! is a film made by a French production company and was film on location in the Asian motropolis of the same name. The film tells 3 different tales all taking place in Tokyo;
- Merde is about an unkempt, gibberish-spewing subterranean creature of the Tokyo sewers who turns into a public menace and miniature Godzilla.
- Shaking Tokyo follows a hermit who has not left his Tokyo apartment in a decade but suddenly falls in love with a pizza delivery girl.
- Interior Design is about a young couple with big dreams who move to Tokyo but faces many challenges and soon the female undergoes a strange transformation. Check out the Trailer below.
Looking forward to seeing this film? and will it open in your theaters on March 6th?

I’ll be watching this at the Miami Film Festival!!! [smile]
@ CS…what! I will ensure it will be the last thing you ever watch! lookout for the guy with the ak-47 at the exit after the show 😛
Yeah I caught the trailer on Apple and was impressed. Considering it’s got Michel Gondry & Bong Joon-ho’s names on it AND it’s about occurances in Tokyo, I’m there!! I probably won’t get to see it really soon though 🙁

I just saw the movie ten minutes ago. I LOVED it!
Thanks for informing me about it.
@ CS, you are very lucky…I couldn’t get my AK-47 through immigration. It will be a while before i can see this film
I watched Tokyo 2 months ago… It’s awesome ! the story, the directing, the acting are great ! If you’re into bizarre and absurd kind of story, Tokyo is a must watch
