g j @g.username Aug 15, 2025 Boring, annoying and mostly pointless, albeit somewhat offset by a solid and fairly poignant third chapter. The second piece in particular made me want to gouge my eyes out. See more JeeHwan L @RT75837762 Oct 2, 2023 Michel 2.5 stars, Bong 3 stars, Leos 4.5 stars See more S. C @RT35273155 Sep 22, 2023 Trio of short movies taking place in Tokyo with each having strong themes behind them, it is quiet entertaining. It makes you think, not only because of the artistic portrayal but also because of the subliminal commentary. Michel Gondry's film. I loved the sets and their design. The acting is pretty neat. The authentic script really shines through it all. Nice score. Some nice cinematography and editing. Unexpected and creative at the end but still wholesome. Very well paced and structured. Loved how everything got build up from beginning to end. It's really good, and it even has the potential to be turned into a feature length movie when interpreting the ending in a less metaphorical but in a more realistic way. However the chair transformation works perfectly in this short. 9/10. Leos Carax' film. I liked some of the performances a lot. Sometimes very humourous. The cinematography is pretty good. Some nice editing. Loved the comparison to Godzilla and its references, even some noticable during the court scene in the microphone distortion. That sound effect was flawlessly built in. Such a plot and concept was very new to me. Refreshing. It got lots of energy and suspense. Mysteriously written lead character but the writing behind the character remains clear. A stingingly controversial yet harshly truthful message delivered. 7/10. Bong Joon-Ho's film. Incredible. Lots of attention to detail. Love the sets and the use of light. Great performance. Well done cinematography. Lovely score. I liked the narration. It was a wonderful little story. It was very relatable, as I am someone with similar troubles. It captures and knows how to present the struggles of such a person very well, and sometimes even without directly telling us with words. For example the sunlight being so exaggeratingly bright to the point that it looks dangerous.... The lead role having to process the interaction he just had for quite some time... Him getting really nervous and insecure as he goes out. It was all crafted with passion. Essentially the ending was very heartwarming. 9/10.

The movie, a triptych similar to New York Stories, is directed by Michael Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), Leos Carax (Holy Motors), and Bong Joon-ho (Parasite), each handling a different segment, none of which are related, of the film. Each director puts his personal touch and applies his style to their segment with varying levels of success. Many viewers will no doubt be turned off by the surreal nature of each chapter and this is understandable, but for those willing to stick with it until the end, Bong Joon-ho's segment will leave the audience with a sense of hope and optimism, despite all that came before.

The simplest and yet most powerful of the 3 parts. See more Jan 23, 2016 That was extremely weird but enjoyable. See more Read all reviews
