| Slant MagazineFernando F. CroceYumeji ultimately emerges as less an expression of a worldview than of a restless prankster still delighting in pulling the rug from beneath his audience's feet. |
| User ReviewDavid Jmy favorite of the 'trilogy", this movie was totally beautiful, a beautiful score as well, the characters and events - which seem secondary to mood, visuals, motif and set pieces - all seem to repeat or some how fold in on themselves in a dream like way. Very good film. |
| User ReviewMattias EAbsurdist masterpiece Yumeji stands out among Seijun Suzukis voluminous production as his most daring work. Inspired by symbolist painters such as Beardsley, the film is a virtual visual feast. Notorious rockstar Kenji Sawada is a perfect fit as the somewhat scandalous real-life painter Yumeji Takehisa. A superb soundtrack by Shigeru Umebayashi. |
