TOKYO!
The Greek word “rhapsody” designates “a work composed of several pieces presented one after the other”. This project, from three of the most cutting edge and visionary directors working today: Michel Gondry (Be Kind, Rewind, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Dave Chappelle?s Block Party), Leos Carax (Pola X, Les Amants du Pont-Neuf) and Joon-Ho Bong (The Host, Memories of Murder), is a fantasy in three movements, three directors interpreting a single motif: TOKYO. When they are put together, they form a unique work: a “Tokyo rhapsody”, to be precise.
