Tokyo Illusion (1986)

Directed by Akio Jissoji

Overview

A fragile-looking woman visits a photography studio, and the owner becomes increasingly captivated by her. This short film condenses the very essence of Jissōji’s style: a man meets a femme fatale and literally descends into ruin—told without dialogue, composed in an illusory fashion through music and imagery alone. Produced by the NSV Study Group as a demonstration piece for analog high-definition video.

Length 15 minutes

Actors

Masami Horiuchi | Kiriko Shimizu
