YUMEJI

After over a decade in the wilderness following his firing from Nikkatsu for cult classic BRANDED TO KILL, maverick director Seijun Suzuki returned with a vengeance with his critically-praised tryptic of supernatural dramas set during the liberal enlightenment of Japan's Taisho Era (1912-26). In YUMEJI, a real-life encounter between painter-poet Takehisa Yumeji and a beautiful widow with a dark past is reimagined.
