Crimson Dream

Directed by Tetsuji Takechi

With Mina Yanagi, Chiyo Aoi, Sennojo Shigeyama, Yokichi Gotou and Shin'yō Nara

Tetsuji Takechi's third film is based on two short stories by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki. The film depicts the lurid and violently erotic dreams of a writer, his wife and his sister, after having spent a night out drinking and visiting sex shows. It underwent extensive censorship before the government would allow it to be released. About 20% of the film's original content was cut and this footage is now considered lost.
