"merde" was my favourite. the others i liked a lot too, but merde! i just cracked up. it was just by lucky coincidence though that i had read "the master and margarita" right before watching this, but i probably would have loved it either way. it went all out and i always appreciate that.
Gondry : 3,5/5 Good but I was expecting something a little bit more creative given his previous works. Carax : -/5 I couldn't get through it so I won't rate it. Seemed too ridiculous for my taste. Bong Joun-Ho : 10/5 Yes, I freaking loved it. It blew my mind. I found it incredibly poetic and touching. Bravo.
Shaking Tokyo is my favourite.That was intense! I loved the earthquake metaphore and the idea of button tattoos.
carax's section totally pissed of thatcarax's section was totally screwed up, but Michel Gondry was wondrous, so BONG JOON-HO.
carax's section ruined it for me, although it did start out promising.
Denis Lavent's performance as Mr Merde is by far the best thing about the entire film. Although I did fall asleep in the cinema at the beginning and the end.
The good film, seems that Japanese all a little crazy! hikikomori is wonderful 日本最高
Five stars for Bong Joon-ho. Four stars for Michel Gondry. Zero stars for Leos Carax.
A weird, engaging anthology of smart, stylish, but still character-driven oddities. Michel Gondry's segment is the best, with its authentic emotions and clever descent into surrealism. Leos Carax's is fun, though it does go on too long. And Joon-Ho Bong's entry is heartfelt, intriguing and told with some clever innovative filmmaking. Fresh and original, highly recommended.
"Interior Design" by Gondry was the best part of this movie. Loved it so so so much.
gondry = beautifully crafted leo carax = shitfest bong joon-ho = stole the movie for me
I thought it was about time these city omnibuses stopped being so sentimental and really got into the issue of fear and isolation. Liked Shaking Tokyo. But Leos Carax's film was brilliant and relevant in a way the other two don't try to be.
Agreed with below, though it's a great example of digital cinema and fast filming. Shaking Tokyo trumped the other two, hugely.
Of the three, I thought Gondry's version was by far the most Japanese and most poetically creative. How foreigners perceive the Japanese may be completely nonsense to the Japanese. "In Japan, we...." I thought the documentaries that came with the film were just as entertaining.... We still won't understand Tokyo after watching this though...... except reinforcing the superficial stereotyped base knowledge.
Bong Joon Ho.. a diferencia del comentario anterior... para mí se gana las 5 estrellas y borra a Gondry, me gusta el manejo del tiempo, el tiempo que se vive en los países de los cerezos.
4 stars for michel gondry's unique mind and heartwarming story, 3,5 stars for leos caraz's funny satire, and 2.5 stars for joon-ho bong's nonsense..
