On the Circuit: Michel Gondry and Leos Carax (Tokyo!)
New York Stories, Paris je t’aime and now Tokyo! All these films bring together talented directors to work on short segments revolving around a specific topic to contribute to a larger whole. However, what allows Tokyo! to distinguish itself from these other titles is the imaginations and inventiveness of the directors involved. Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), Leos Carax (The Lovers on the Bridge) and Joon-ho Bong (The Host) lend their talents to this film for a truly unique triptych.
Zoom In Online’s Jim Rohner was recently able to speak to Gondry and Carax about the film and the two French-born filmmakers talked about the advent of the film in Tokyo, the inspirations behind their segments, the importance of childlike imagination and much more.
