Onimatsu
A vida ficcionalizada do pintor e poeta Yumeji Takehisa (1884-1934). Yumeji está em Kanazawa, esperando a chegada de sua amante Hikono, quando se depara com a bela viúva Tomoyo, que perambula pelas cercanias de um lago procurando o corpo de seu marido Wakiya, supostamente assassinado por um bandido. O pintor fica impressionado com Tomoyo e ajuda a viúva em sua busca. Em seguida, eles se tornam amantes. A trama fica mais complexa quando aparecem Matsu, o suposto bandido assassino, e a modelo Oyo, também amante de Yumeji. Até que o próprio Wakiya reaparece, sem que saibamos tratar-se de um fantasma ou de uma presença real. Último volume da “trilogia Taisho,” o filme intensifica os procedimentos oníricos e alucinatórios dos filmes anteriores, chamando mais a atenção para os elementos simbólicos e as atmosferas do que para a trama.

The Kobayashi family finally get the chance to move out of their tiny, cramped Tokyo apartment in favour of the suburban house of their dreams. But all is not well: the house is infested by termites and the family starts cracking up: Son Masaki is studying so obsessively for his exams that he's losing his mind; daughter Erika is oblivious of all but her forthcoming record company audition, grandfather Yasukuni starts getting World War II flashbacks and father Katsuhiko is so worried about his family's "sickness" that he thinks can only be cured by group suicide.
First production by Directors' Company. A man stripped bare of all modern values lives in a pure form, like a beast, feeding and satiating his every primal desire whenever they may arise. He takes on a mate, a woman intrigued by his personage or lack thereof, and they live in his den in central Tokyo. As time goes on, we see how this animal clashes with modern man, and the consequences of their coexistance.
