Tokyo! looks intriguing, if artsy-fartsy. It's a set of shorts by three excellent directors, Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), Leos Carax (Lovers on the Bridge), and Bong Joon-Ho (The Host). Although the shorts are strikingly different, reflecting their idiosyncratic creators, they have a unifying theme: Tokyo and its denizens. I'm most curious about Gondry's work, an adaptation of Gabrielle Bell's Cecil & Jordan in New York. If you don't mind spoilers, read Gondry's New York interview about the movie.
BoingBoing posted these intriguing clips from Tokyology, a documentary on Japanese pop culture. The DVD isn't available at Netflix or Blockbuster, but you can buy it for $19.99 here or at Amazon (though no used copies for sale either, I see).
