Martin Scorsese Masterclass in Cannes

 

 

 

Tokyo! by Michel Gondry, the trailer

Tokyo!" by Michel Gondry, Leos Carax, and Bong Joon-Ho

Tokyo! producers Masa Sawada and Michiko Yoshitake describe their Un Certain Regard presentation as "a fantasy in three movements". "It
doesn't matter whether each piece seems at odds with the others - when
they are put together, they form a unique work. A Tokyo Rhapsody, to be
precise."
To compose this triptych about Japan's capital city,
three directors, each outstanding in his own way, were chosen: Michel
Gondry, Leos Carax, and Bong Joon-Ho.

French director Gondry was at the Cannes Festival in 2001 to present Human Nature. His segment of Tokyo!, Interior Design, examines the trials and tribulations of a young couple trying to settle down in a large city they know nothing about. "The aim of the film however is not to show Tokyo as an inhuman megalopolis," Gondry explains, "but to reveal the personality of a young woman who doesn't see the point of disappearing into the professional adult world".

With Merde,
Leos Carax, focuses on the devastating impact an urban environment can
have on human nature. His character, whose name is Merde [Shit], is a
monster who dwells in the sewers, terrifying the populace whenever he
emerges to prowl the surface. His arrest leads to an impassioned debate
among the city's inhabitants.
With Tokyo, French director Leos Carax returns to the Festival after a ten-year hiatus in filmmaking. He was last in Cannes to present Pola X, selected for the Official Competition in 1999.

Lastly, Bon Joon-Ho defines his Shaking Tokyo as "a
love story taking place between a man and a woman, in a unique
atmosphere of Tokyo. This film, as short as it is, is a strange love
story."
Two hikikomoris (people who withdraw completely from
social life, staying at home) fall in love, by the greatest of
accidents. Will they succeed in overcoming their anxiety and consummate
their passion?

About Bucharest International Film Festival - BIFF - B-EST

Dima Madalina
(B-EST IFF)

B-EST IFF 2009 takes place at Cinema Studio, between 23rd and 30th March.
Price for one ticket 8 RON, 4 films pass 24 RON.
All students, regardless of university, have free access, based on their student id.


Buchar-EST International Film Festival (B-EST IFF) is the first major feature film competition organized in Bucharest, starting with 2005.

The aim of the festival has been to become a forum that encourages new cinema trends. We wish to discover new talents, to promote young filmmakers that have achieved recognition both at a national level, as well as in prestigious international competitions. We wish to bring a selection of best quality films to the cinema audience of Bucharest, and we invite you to take part in this event.

B-EST is a festival dedicated to art cinema, but also to those that want to express something new and different through film. Although the focus is represented by independent creations, low and medium-budget productions, B-EST has always managed to include important international awarded films in its selections.
