Review

In the surreal historical drama Yumeji (1991), a talented painter in 1920s Japan (Kenji Sawada) is haunted by strange hallucinations--some involving a beautiful woman in a red kimono (Tomoko Mariya), others involving a faceless enemy who wants him dead. The final film in Seijun Suzuki’s boldly expressive Taisho trilogy, Yumeji is less kinetically violent than some of Suzuki’s best-known works, like Tokyo Drifter (1966), but it’s nevertheless a haunting, mind-bending achievement. Mariya helps make it memorable by shedding her kimono for alluring peeks at her lithe frame.
