Let Sion Sono take you on a tour of Tokyo's underbelly for a night of turf wars & rap battles.

In an alternate Japan, territorial street gangs form opposing factions collectively known as the Tokyo Tribes. Merra, leader of the Wu-Ronz tribe of Bukuro, joins forces with heavy-hitting gangster Buppa of Buppa Town. With Buppa's support, Merra aims to initiate a gang war between the Wu-Ronz and the Musashino Saru, and in a confrontation between the two attempts to kill Kai of the Musashino Saru. The inadvertent murder of Kai's friend Tera (a Musashino Saru member beloved by all Tribes since before their formation) leads to the joining of forces between all of the Tribes in an all-out war against Merra and Buppa.

Mark Asch · Little White Lies 60.00/100.00

Sono has flow to spare, but samples heavily from icky fanboy culture.

在电影院看的,MV电影,很嗨,不过,看过之后觉得很无聊。

Bilge Ebiri · New York Magazine (Vulture) 80.00/100.00

Beneath the goofy plot, the tacky fashions, the fronting rappers, and the exploding bodies, there’s an undeniable earnestness to Tokyo Tribe. It’s the craziest film you’ll see this year, but it’s also — dear God, am I really saying this? — one of the sweetest.
