About Crimson Dream
Based on the novel of the same name by Akutagawa Prize-winning author Mangetsu Hanamura. This film vividly and sensually portrays the forbidden feelings born between real sisters through raw imagery. The performances by distinctive actors like Jun Murakami and Toshihachi Fujita are also a must-see! Aiko, the younger sister, cherishes the keloid-like scars on her elder sister Takako's body. Takako also harbors intense feelings for Aiko, and the two were drowning in forbidden love. But one day, Takako fell ill...
Directed by Masahiro Nakata, Crimson Dream leans on a strong ensemble — Jun Murakami, Akiko Yagi, Yūna Natsuo — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2002.
