Synopsis: `I had a dream like this...` Based on renowned Japanese writer Natsume Soseki's same-titled short story collection, Ten Nights of Dreams brings ten fantastical dream sequences to film with great visual and psychological panache.... `I had a dream like this...` Based on renowned Japanese writer Natsume Soseki's same-titled short story collection, Ten Nights of Dreams 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 Kon Ichikawa, who previously adapted Soseki's Kokoro for film in 1955; Akio Jissoji (Tokyo: The Last Megalopolis, Rampo Noir); horror maestro Takashi Shimizu (The Grudge); Blue Ribbon Best Director Miwa Nishikawa (Yureru); Nobuhiro Yamashita (Linda Linda Linda); actor/director Matsuo Suzuki (Otakus in Love, Welcome to the Quiet Room); J-horror standbys Atsushi Shimizu (The Wish), Keisuke Toyoshima (Tales of Terror), and Yudai Yamaguchi (Battlefield Baseball); and the new directing team of Final Fantasy character designer Yoshitaka Amano and gaming guru Masaaki Kawahara. --© Cinema Epoch [More]

Followers of the new Japanese cinema will enjoy getting an early look at new styles by emerging talents, but these are essentially student films that are not likely to be embraced by the casual moviegoer.

Looking for clear meaning and structured plots? Find another movie. If you're a fan of Asian-style cinematic wackiness, dig in.

The filmmakers don't solve any riddles but rather pose them in richly varied ways: Ten Nights of Dreams is in the grand, exquisite tradition of the Japanese cinema of the supernatural.

A sometimes terrifying, sometimes wildly amusing and occasionally flat interpretation of Soseki's tales by a who's who of Japanese film­makers.
