These stories might seem unconnected and unfinished, but they all fit together very well. This ideas presented don't need to go in-depth, they merely show life as a small part of a big society, our isolation, and our connection to other lost souls. Very well done and I dare say better than Paris je taime.

Tokyo! presents a generation of filmmakers who succumb to sodden, dull, solipsistic hipsterism -- not the life force of Boccaccio '70 or even 2007's Paris, Je T'aime.

Interior Design: Shame, isolation, and floundering ambition lead to a Kafkaesque transformation that seems to be more transcendence than nightmare. I loved this one. Merde: Bizarre postmodern monster movie, where "Godzilla" is a demented white man from the sewers resembling a leprechaun, or a troll... Interesting, weird. Shaking Tokyo: Bong Joon-ho tackles the hikikomori issue. Vaguely reminded me of Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Pulse, but it was less dreadful, more tender and yearning.

First part: 88. Love everything about it. Second part: 67. Kind of weak, but enjoyable. Third part: 82.

"Everyone seems to have their own favorite, but I like how all three different but inventive shorts join forces to create a delightful portrait of extreme city life."

"There's nothing in recent memory quite like Merde." - Andrew Schenker

Merde is awful.

tells something then so what!

I like all three stories, but Shaking Tokyo is the most memorable one for me. There's a fine balance between the earthquake and the silent moments.

Everything but "Merde" is not worth it...

Everything but "Merde" is worth it.. Particularly "Shaking Tokyo"

Bong Joon-Ho's is the best. Carax's is the worst. All three are worth watching.

I enjoyed it more than most, infact I think it's the best compilation movie for recent years. While Merde is the most striking one, all three revolves around similar themes -especially isolation-, each memorable in their own sense.

Great. This is an anthology about life in Tokyo divided into 3 stories each directed by a different filmmaker. The first is about an artist's loyal girlfriend who feels unneeded. The second is a surprisingly shocking and alien tale of mayhem. The 3rd is about a man in self-imposed isolation who leaves his apartment after 11 years to find his pizza delivery girl. Each segment is beautifully shot, acted and directed. Highly recommended must watch.

Not a very big Gondry fan, (please fuck off hipsters) but this film had surreal Gondry moments that I enjoyed. The first short film really is the strongest of the three, the second had some message that I just didn't understand I guess, and the third was very interesting but somewhat unsatisfying.

'Weird', not Tokyo is what connects these three stories in my mind. Sometimes funny or cute, sometimes provoking, but judging by this film it's very good idea to call all three filmmakers 'visionaries'. But it suffers from the same problems as most of anthologies - shorts are uneven, and stories sometimes feel like a drafts, or little ideas that film-makers had, that weren't good enough for the feature, but too good to be forgotten.

Strange, but uneven and mismatched short films that say little about anything, and unfortunately aren't as engaging as they may sound.

not for the last part.!!!

Stories about lonelyness in a big city, a girl transforming into a chair and a guy suffering isolated in his house founds someone like him.

Could be better. Last story (Shaking Tokto) could be longer, second one (Merde) could be shorter... A good try and has good stories, but somehow feels row and amatorish.

Carax's edition severely limits this as a whole.
