<> (Tokyo!) is a film about atypical Tokyo, consisting of three stories; three directors from the United States (Michel Gondry), France (Leo Carax) and South Korea (Bong Joo-Ho) .

In the first paragraph, Michel Gondry talks about a young couple who came to Tokyo to start a new life and look for their dreams, but unfortunately the reality is broken. The boy finds a humble job, and finally shows his surreal movie in a porn theater; on the contrary, the girl has everything going wrong, and she is extremely lost in the big city of Tokyo. Suspected that he fell in love with someone else, and finally turned into a wooden chair. The scene where the girl gradually changed from a human to a wooden chair is very strange. When she was a human being, she could not see her own value. After he made a chair, he lived in other people's homes with peace of mind, secretly picking up other people's homes, and silently bearing the weight of others.

Leo Carax's episode tells of a strange man who lived in an underground waterway in Tokyo one day, attacking passers-by and throwing grenades everywhere. After the story was pulled and pulled, I even came up with a trailer for the American version. I didn't like it.

I like the part of Bong Joon-Ho very much. Teruyuki Kagawa plays a stable resident in the city, commonly known as an otaku. Otaku is not poisonous, just completely lacks social skills, Bong Joon-Ho depicts the mentality and life of a Social Phobia patient with extreme tenderness. There were two earthquakes before and after the movie. The first time brought Kagawa Teruyuki and Aoi Yu together, and the second time witnessed the indescribable shock when two lonely people found each other. In the city, who is not lonely? The "Love" button on the arm still needs someone else to activate it.

    I didn't plan this to be an experimental film.... Well, then unexpectedly stunning, unexpectedly charming, alienation, anarchy, alienation, and it's actually a subject that has been shaped countless times and is still very malleable. Another Japanese electrical ambient as bgm is absolutely punctual, so this is a strange city, a crowded bloody blank dazzling city

    Although the three directors are not Japanese, the Japanese taste of the three films is quite pure.
