Beauty Cannot Last, But Death Is Forever.
Yukio (Shall We Dance's Masahiro Motoki) enjoys a seemingly successful life with his family including a beautiful but fragile wife whom he met under strange circumstances by a river. However everything changes one night with the arrival of terrifying stranger who looks just like him... with a terrifying secret that will change their lives forever.
From Tetsuo: The Iron Man to Tokyo Fist, Japanese cult director Tsukamoto Shinya has built his career on subverting and shocking through grotesque subject matters, graphic images, and over-the-top violence. His films take viewers on lush, surreal journeys to the root of human nature, however ugly and disturbing that may be. Based on an Edogawa Rampo story, his 1999 film Gemini, a.k.a. Soseji, considered by some to be the director's best work, departs from the modern industrial landscape of his previous films for a late Meiji period setting. The film stars Motoko Masahiro (The Bird People in China) in dual roles, caught in a fatalistic battle with inner and outer demons.
