With episodes directed by Bong Joon-Ho (THE HOST), Michael Gondry (ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND), and Leox Carax THE LOVERS ON THE BRIDGE), the film presents a surreal “fantasy in three movements,” consisting of  “rhapsody, psychogeorgraphy, urban valentine, freak show, mindwalk, and many other things, ” per the press release. The film infringes on genre territory, especially in its second episode, “Merde,” about a mysterious creature that rises from the sewer to spread panic in the streets of Tokyo.
