In Michel Gondry’ Interior Design, a young couple tries to adjust itself to Tokyo city. The man has a very focused ambition of being a film director; on the other hand, his indecisive girlfriend can‚Äôt shake off the feeling of having lost control of her own life. In Merde, by Leos Carax, a mysterious creature spreads panic through the streets of Tokyo with its disturbing and destructive behavior. In Bon Joon-Ho’ Shaking Tokyo, a young boy has been a hikikomori (a person living completely isolated in their home) for over ten years. His contact with the outside world is minimal. One day, a young pizza delivery girl goes to his apartment as an earthquake hits the city. In an unexpected turn of events, they fall in love.
