Tomoko Yamaguchi is set to appear at a stage greeting for the 4K rerelease of Undo, the 1994 Shunji Iwai film she starred in, alongside co-star Etsushi Toyokawa and Iwai himself. The event follows the September 26 screening at TOHO Cinemas Shinjuku as part of a double feature with PiCNiC.
Tomoko Yamaguchi is tied to a 4K restoration of Undo, the 1994 film she starred in with Etsushi Toyokawa under director Shunji Iwai. The restoration screens as a double feature with Iwai's 1996 film PiCNiC, with both films shown in 4K. The pairing puts two early Iwai works back in theaters, with Undo's 4K run beginning September 25 at TOHO Cinemas Hibiya and other venues.
On September 26, a stage greeting with Yamaguchi, Toyokawa, and Iwai will follow the screening at TOHO Cinemas Shinjuku. The event reunites the lead actors with their director for the rerelease. Trailers for both films and a comment video from Iwai were released alongside the announcement.
The remastering work drew a note from Iwai on the source material: the 16mm footage and the experimental push and pull processing made the restoration difficult. That detail frames the rerelease as a technical project as much as a repertory one. Coverage so far centers on the double feature and the stage greeting, and no further projects involving Yamaguchi are stated.
