Tokyo! Is an anthology film. It contains three movies by three different filmmakers. The first is called Interior Design by Michael Gondry, the second is Merde by Leos Carax, and the third is Shaking Tokyo by Bong Joon Ho. In reading reviews of the film its seems that most critics tend to pick a favorite out of the three and advocate for it, but it is more interesting to consider the three films as a whole. There are some superficial commonalities. All three take place in Tokyo, and all three were made by men who do not live in Tokyo, but it is the themes these three films address that invite deeper comparison.
