Here is a summary of each story in Tokyo!
“Interior Design” (Dir. Michel Gondry)
Hiroko and Akira (Ayako Fujitani and Ryo Kase),
a young couple, arrive in Tokyo to pursue their careers, moving in temporarily with Hiroko’s old friend Akemi (Ayumi Ito), a career girl whose boyfriend quickly tires of the houseguests. Hiroko decides to pursue a film career, which leaves Akira lonely and in a surreal dream. The film was adapted from the comic “Cecil and Jordan in New York.”
“Merde” (Dir. Leos Carax) Merde (a French term translating as “shit”) is the name given to an unkempt, gibberish-spewing subterranean creature of the Tokyo sewers, played by Denis Lavant, who rises from the underground lair where he dwells to attack unsuspecting locals in increasingly brazen and terrifying ways: he steals cash and cigarettes from passersby, frightens old women and salaciously licks schoolgirls, resulting in a televised media frenzy that creates mounting hysteria among the Tokyo populace. He finds an arsenal of weapons to attack the populace and the media takes it to the airwaves. Enter French magistrate Maître Voland (Jean-François Balmer) arrives in Tokyo to represent Merde’s televised trial.
“Shaking Tokyo” (Dir. Bong Joon-ho) Teruyuki Kagawa stars as a Tokyo shut-in, or hikikimori, who has not left his apartment in a decade. His only link to the outside world is through his telephone, which he uses to command every necessity from a series of random and anonymous delivery people, including the pizza that he lives on and the hundreds of discarded pizza cartons he meticulously stacks in and around his cramped apartment. But one day is different – his pizza arrives thanks to a lovely young woman who succeeds in catching the shut-in’s eye. Suddenly an earthquake strikes Tokyo, prompting the beautiful young delivery woman to faint in her client’s apartment. Love follows.
