Gondry/ Bong/ Carax’s “Tokyo!” teaser online

News from Nippon Cinema this morning. The site has a link to teaser trailer for the three-part omnibus film “Tokyo!” Unfortunately there’s not a lot to it, just behind the scenes footage of directors Michel Gondry, Bong Joon-ho and Leos Carax shooting their respective segments which is a damn shame because each of their films (especially Gondry’s) sound ripe for some amazing visuals.

Gondry’s contribution has a neglected girlfriend (Ayako Fujitani) literally turning into a piece of furniture, Bong’s follows a hikikomori as he ventures out of his room for the first time in 10 years to track down the pizza delivery girl he loves, and Carax’s tells the story of a mysterious man who emerges from the Tokyo sewer system and is arrested for scaring an entire neighbourhood.

Here’s the Nippon Cinema report with links to the “Tokyo!” official site and teaser trailer: http://www.nipponcinema.com/news/short_teaser_for_tokyo_online/
