A cinematic trip-tech homage full of humor to one of the most exotic and modern cities in the world where anything seems possible. Three foreign directors (two French and one Korean) capture some realities and eccentricities of the city. While Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) focuses on the limited space and its consequences in "Interior Design", Leos Carax (Pola X) pays homage to the Japanese monster films in "Merde." Bong Joon-ho (The Host) focuses on bizarre behaviors and earth quakes in "Shaking Tokyo." All the films successfully capture certain perception of the city that might be true or not but never-the-less entertaining to please the fans. YRCinema's coverage of the AFI Fest 2008.
