Viewing Notes

Finally sat down with Tokyo! and relished every minute. Loved. This. Film. which is actually 3 short films shot in Tokyo by 3 acclaimed directors: Michel Gondry, Leos Carax, & Joon-ho Bong (in that order). Really, so much to love here by each director. Borderline horror/sci-fi but mostly fantasy. Hope to own the Blu-Ray someday so I can re-watch again and again.
