Sôseiji (1999, JAP) C-83m. **½ D: Shinya Tsukamoto. Starring Masahiro Motoki, Ryô, Yasutaka Tsutsui, Shiho Fujimura. Artsy psycho horror drama set at the turn of the century about a young doctor, who has taken in an amnesiac woman and fallen in love with her, much to the chagrin of his parents. When his parents suddenly die, he suspects she may be the reason, but as it turns out, there's a mysterious, cruel twin who wants to take over his identity. Interesting, to say the least, but also quite off-putting and heavy-going. Cult director Tsukamoto adapted a novel by mystery writer Rampo Edogawa. As usual, he also photographed and edited the movie. English title: GEMINI. |
