Anthology films. Some love them, some hate abut I’m still undecided. I’ve still to see Paris, je t’aime and walking away from Tôkyô! (our review) I wasn’t sure what to make of the film. Yes, it had been entertaining (if a little head scratching) but after some discussion the genius of the film became clear and though the light might not come on for a while, in the end this is one anthology film with more than a few things to say.

Divided into three parts, each directed by Michel Gondry, Leos Carax and Joon-ho Bong, the film looks at Tokyo on more than just a surface level and though the connection to the city isn’t always immediately apparent, the messages it relays are interesting and well worth discussion and yes, they’ll likely require some discussion to unearth (you may want to employ the help of your buddy who spent 6 months in Japan last year).

The DVD hits store shelves today and though I can’t find a listing of all the extras, the release does have a few interviews listed which I hope divulge a little more information on where the filmmakers came up with ideas for their portions of the film.

Check out the trailer below and the few other clips I’ve tucked under the seat!
