Sōseki composed ten strange dreams set in various time periods beginning
with his contemporary time (the Meiji period) and including dreams set
in the age of the gods, the Kamakura period, and 100 years in the
future. The series begins with the phrase “I had a dream like this.”
(こんな夢を見た Konna yume o mita).
--------------------
Based on renowned Japanese writer Natsume Soseki's same-titled short story collection, Ten Nights of Dreams (a.k.a. Yume Juya) brings ten fantastical dream sequences to film with great visual and psychological panache. Representing the combined efforts of eleven directors, this outstanding anthology delves into the surreal subconscious with ten madly imaginative, reality-subverting visions that range from wonderfully wacky to nightmarishly unsettling. The ten shorts are directed by legendary filmmaker Ichikawa Kon, who previously adapted Soseki's Kokoro for film in 1955; late director Jissoji Akio (Tokyo: The Last Megalopolis, Rampo Noir); horror maestro Shimizu Takashi (The Grudge); Blue Ribbon Best Director Nishikawa Miwa (Yureru); Yamashita Nobuhiro (Linda Linda Linda); actor/director Matsuo Suzuki (Otakus in Love, Welcome to the Quiet Room); J-horror standbys Shimizu Atsushi (The Wish), Toyoshima Keisuke (Tales of Terror), and Yamaguchi Yudai (Chromartie High); and the new directing team of Final Fantasy character designer Amano Yoshitaka and game giant Kawahara Masaaki.
