...an unusually tight anthology that tackles the city from a science-fiction/fantasy vantage.

Three directors, three films, three reasons to rethink moving to Tokyo: You can't find a place to live, there are earthquakes and a weird goblin may leap from a sewer and grab your sandwich.

den store Japanske instruktør Ozu's mest berømte film. Man skal lige vænne sig til stilen i hans neddæmpede familiedramaer, så er han helt oppe at ringe på samme måde som den bredere kendte instruktør Kurosawa.
