If you loved Kazuo Umezu's Horror Theater: The Wish, try Yume jû-ya
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Atsushi Shimizu, and they both carry the surreal mood tag, and they sit in Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Kazuo Umezu's Horror Theater: The Wish, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Yume jû-ya is
Moonlight pooling through a paper screen. A wooden lantern gutters out. A blind masseuse listens to a heartbeat that isn’t his own. In one night, a sleepwalker counts his ribs while a kimono steams on a line. Ten dreams, ten filmmakers, each fold of sleep unspooling a new nightmare wrapped in silk and static. Japanese surrealism’s last known heist: stealing shadows from the subconscious.
