Ever wanted to know what West Side Story might look like if it was made by Sion Sono? Well, imagine everyone is Japanese, they’re rapping and there is no filter on violence or raunchy behavior, that’s the only way I can describe Sono’s latest effort, Tokyo Tribe. The full theatrical trailer for his latest wild endeavor is here and immediately after watching the trailer all I could think was this is one of those cases where I’m not entirely sure what I just watched, but I know I want to watch more. Sono clearly is back on the path of comedic insanity and after screening Why Don’t You Play in Hell? for a second time and still loving it, I welcome Tokyo Tribe with wide open arms.
The trailer starts off innocent enough, with two gangs readying for a fight and rapping about who-knows-what and then about halfway through all hell breaks loose and we see a shotgun blast of ridiculous images that can only do one thing, get Sono fans extremely excited for what his twisted and chaotic mind has in store for us.
Check out the trailer below and brace yourself for something special. If you’ve never seen a Sono film before and liked this trailer be sure to check out my review for Sion Sono’s Why Don’t You Play in Hell? so that you put it on your radar to see it too when it comes out later this year.
