Comments on: TOKYO! Review http://blog.spout.com/2009/03/04/tokyo-review/ Daily coverage of what is truly interesting in the film world Sat, 28 Nov 2009 23:19:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Michael Dolsky http://blog.spout.com/2009/03/04/tokyo-review/#comment-130336 Michael Dolsky Tue, 07 Jul 2009 21:44:24 +0000 http://blog.spout.com/?p=11353#comment-130336 Tokyo! was fantastic. "Shaking Tokyo" in particular resonated with me the most, more than any film I've seen in the last 18 months. Being a citizen of a large metropolis, it's understandable that one could be driven to self imposed isolation. Tokyo! may be a film made by 3 gaijin, but each piece lets those peering in empathize with the characters who themselves live as gaijin in a town they call home. I found about on Amazon and have been a fan ever since. http://bit.ly/TokyoAz Tokyo! was fantastic. “Shaking Tokyo” in particular resonated with me the most, more than any film I’ve seen in the last 18 months.

It was surreal but accessible, somehow humane. The three parts, while superficially quite different, found ways to resonate on the same levels--the alienation and otherness of big city life and massed civilization, like Kafka meets Delillo. Amazing. The dvd drops June 30. I preordered www.tokyothemovie.com Tokyo! was amazing. It was surreal but accessible, somehow humane.

They are short films they don't need a deep plot, the stories were fun and mind bending. Also her coma button is on her leg and he throws grenades, not molotov cocktails dumbass. Please don't review movies no more unless you actually watch the movie. Hey your shit at reviewing. They are short films they don’t need a deep plot, the stories were fun and mind bending.

Gondry's and Joon-Ho's films were breathtaking, and fantastic. I was physically angry watching the middle piece "Merde" indeed!!!!!!! I hated it and it ruined the movie going experience. I hope they release the DVD version without it!!!!!! Still worth seeing because of the other two. I absolutely agree!!!!!!! Gondry’s and Joon-Ho’s films were breathtaking, and fantastic.
