Independent studio Liberation Entertainment enters the Blu-ray arena with its announcement of '
Tokyo!', a three-segment film that looks at life in Japan's capital, directed by three non-Japanese filmmakers. The film will street on Blu-ray on June 30, day-and-date with the DVD. No specs have been announced at this time.
Extras include:
- Interviews with the Directors
- Featurette: Making of 'Merde'
- Featurette: Making of 'Interior Design'
- Featurette: Making of 'Shaking Tokyo'
Three of world cinema's great visionaries: Michel Gondry ('
Be Kind Rewind'), Leos Carax ('The Lovers on the Bridge'), and Bong Joon-ho ('
The Host') each direct a segment of this surreal triptych set in the ultra-modern metropolis of Tokyo, Japan. In the tradition of such films as '
Paris, je t'aime' or 'New York Stories', '
Tokyo!' addresses the timeless question of whether we shape cities, or if cities shape us — in the process revealing the rich humanity at the heart of modern urban life. It was shown at last year's Cannes Film Festival, within the 'Un certain regard' section.
