3 reasons to see Tokyo!»Michelle Gondry, Bon June Ho, Leo Caraxa
In fashion-collective-geographical creativity, in the spirit of political correctness and
multiculturalism, familiarizing the viewer with places where he may not be able to visit. And with mores – infinitely alien, but so clear.
1. Charming secondaryness. We have already seen-and not without pleasure-“New York stories”, “Paris, I love you”, I just came out “New York, I love you”, not around the mountains and “Shanghai, I love you”. This is in fashion-collective-geographical creativity, in the spirit of political correctness and multiculturalism, introducing the viewer with places where he may not be able to visit. And with mores – infinitely alien, but so clear. In the case of Tokyo, the tradition is not interrupted: the novels were shot by already famous foreign directors: a Frenchman who made a career in America (Gondri), a Frenchman who insisted on his cultural authenticity (Carax), and Korean (Bon June Ho).
2. Bold originality. But the stories told in the film are truly original. Gondri’s: brother and sister – newcomers in Tokyo;Brother firmly decided to engage in a movie, my sister is not so sure of the future and, according to some reports, turns into a chair. At Karax: One crazy man arranges vile provocations on the Tokyo streets, for which the media called it a “creature from the sewage system”. Bon June Ho: a coraffer recluse, one of many in this crazy city, falls in love with a pizza pedestal and for the sake of love is almost ready to leave his shelter.
3. Wonderful initiative. Cinema almanacs are good in that they allow the world to see the work of significant directors who fell into a creative stupor, do not dare to a big film, but agree to short films in a good company. In the case of Tokyo!”The opening can be the film by Leo Carax, once with his” Bad Blood “and” Lovers of Pont-Nef “who turned the idea of French cinema, and then fell silent for many years. In addition, all scenarios are written here by the directors themselves, so we are dealing with fully copyright cinema. And finally, in Tokyo!»Foreign directors work with an almost completely Japanese acting. What shame Kipling with his self -confident “West is the West, the East is the East, and they will not come from places”. Went away and converged, and with an interesting artistic result. Cast: Yu aoy, Esesi Arakava, Ayako Fujitani, Ayumi results, Denis Lavan. At the box office since April 30. “Interior design”, “shit”, “shaking Tokyo”-each of the authors of the three cinemas sees the city in his own way.
