Toyokawa is billed as a lead of Shunji Iwai's 1994 film Undo, which returns to theaters in a 4K remaster. He is set to appear at a stage greeting alongside Tomoko Yamaguchi and Iwai after the September 26 screening at TOHO Cinemas Shinjuku.
Etsushi Toyokawa's current coverage centers on the rerelease of Undo, the 1994 Shunji Iwai film in which he stars opposite Tomoko Yamaguchi. The film is screening as a 4K remaster from September 25 at TOHO Cinemas Hibiya and other venues, paired as a double feature with Iwai's 1996 PiCNiC, which also received a 4K remaster. Iwai said the remastering work was difficult because of the 16mm footage and the experimental push and pull processing.
The rerelease schedule then added a personal appearance. A stage greeting with Yamaguchi, Toyokawa, and Iwai is set to follow the September 26 screening of the Undo 4K remaster at TOHO Cinemas Shinjuku, an event tied to the double feature of the two films. Trailers for both films and a comment video from Iwai were released alongside that announcement.
The two stories move in one direction: a remaster announcement that named Toyokawa only as cast, then a follow-up that puts him on stage with his co-lead and the director. What the coverage establishes about him is the pairing with Yamaguchi and his part in Undo, not a wider slate of projects. The rerelease follows the previously announced 4K release of Swallowtail Butterfly in September.
