Tokyo! worth seeing before it DVDs?

I saw the trailer for this film a while ago and it looked interesting. Is there anything that’s good to know before seeing this film? Sometimes I like having some information before seeing a movie to help me appreciate it more. And then sometimes I like wondering into a theater and finding out the title only moments before.

I have heard that one of the short films is great

i saw it and it was great. The second short film by Leos Carx is my personal favorite even though i love Michel Gondry and Joon Bon Ho. It is a experience and you probably won’t see something like this again, so I say, YES!

I really really enjoyed two of the three, and the other I mostly enjoyed. I think it was very much worth seeing in the theater before dvd. The cityscapes are wonderful on the big screen.

I though the Leos Carx film was incredible, and the Gondry and Bon Ho films are definitely worth watching. So, yes!

The Gondry is good, the Carax is great (near masterpiece), the Bong is fine.

Has anybody else noticed the sudden surge of anthology films based on a single city? I have no problem with it because I love the idea, but it’s interesting to me that these seem so in vogue lately, what with this film, Paris, je t’aime , and New York, I love you.

Here’s hoping for one on Rochester, NY! But not really…

I think the Bong is by far the best while the Gondry is a little bit lofty but alright while the Carax is terrible after having a really funny opening 10 minutes. I saw it at a film festival a long time ago so I vaguely remember it.

Yes! Three different views of cinema; three different approaches on Tokyo.
As Juan Solanas once said “We’re living in a period where cinema is a product; movies are becoming more and more commercialized. Short films are one of the last real places for artistic freedom – they’re important to celebrate just for that.”
