Playing as part of the Toronto International Film Festival’s Vanguard programme is the latest flick from legendary Japanese director Takashi Miike, entitled Over Your Dead Body. We have every pixel of the flick’s trailer right here for your perusal. Dig it!
Over Your Dead Body – Takashi Miike, Japan – International Premiere
A star, Miyuki Goto (Ko Shibasaki), plays Oiwa, the protagonist in a new play based on the ghost story Yotsuya Kaidan.
She pulls some strings to get her lover, Kosuke Hasegawa (Ebizo Ichikawa), cast in the play even though he’s a relatively unknown actor. Other performers Rio Asahina (Miho Nakanishi) and Jun Suzuki (Hideaki Ito) lust after Miyuki. Off stage the cast’s possessive love and obsessions exist as reality. Trapped between the play and reality, the cast’s feelings for each other are amplified.
When it becomes clear that love is not meant to be both on and off stage, love turns into a grudge and crosses the blurred line between reality and fantasy.
