DAYDREAM
Dir. Takechi Tetsuju, 1964
Japan. 93 min.
In Japanese with English subtitles.
One of the very first films made by the very first Pink film directors, DAYDREAM is a convoluted surrealist masterpiece in which fact is never far from fiction. The film is loosely based on a story by Tanizaki Jun'ichiro, a famous modernist writer known for his stories of erotic obsession. In the film, an artist and young woman have a series of hallucinations in the dentist's office, after receiving a dose of anesthetic. What follows is a nightmarish and bizarre sequence of events that is far darker than the average humans daydream. The film was the first Pink to have a mainstream release, and its style and thematic content would define the style of Pink Film for decades. The director, Takechi Testuji, would be placed on trial for obscenity charges for his next Pink production, BLACK SNOW The trial became a public battle, and after Takechi won, he continued making soft-core erotic films; because he shaped the future of Pink Film production and style in Japan, he is now known as the "Father of Pink".
