The Next Great Foreign Film Will Be About Tokyo’s Super Fancy Toilets

What’s the best toilet you’ve ever had the pleasure of using? Some have heated seats, others have motion-activated toilet lids. A few have air dryers built into them; others can vaporize poop.

His upcoming fictional film will focus entirely on a set of public toilets in Tokyo, Japan that are a part of the city’s ongoing renewal project, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
