Tokyo Phoenix

Directed by Olivier Julien

With Éric Chantelauze, François Montagut, Hidetoshi Nakamura, Kaoru Yachigusa and Shouto Kashii

In 150 years, twice marked by total destruction —a terrible earthquake in 1923 and incendiary bombings in 1945— followed by a spectacular rebirth, Tokyo, the old city of Edo, has become the largest and most futuristic capital in the world in a transformation process fueled by the exceptional resilience of its inhabitants, and nourished by a unique phenomenon of cultural hybridization.
