Product Description GEMINI - An astonishing gothic horror film from the director of TETSUO! This stunning film from director Shinya Tsukamoto (Tetsuo, NIGHTMARE DETECTIVE) is set in Tokyo in 1910. Dr. Yukio Daitokuji (Masahiro Motoki), is a former military doctor who has taken over a successful medical practice from his father. He appears to be living a charmed life: he is respected in the local community and is married to the beautiful Rin (Ryo). His only problem is that she suffers from amnesia, and her past is unknown. But soon his world begins to crumble. Both his parents die suddenly, killed by a bizarre, rag-wearing stranger. Yukio's relationship with his wife worsens after he refuses to cure the inhabitants of a nearby slum. Then one day he comes face to face with the mysterious killer and a shocking and deadly secret is revealed. The film's sumptuous visuals, astonishing costume design, scenes of kinetic violence and pounding score create a unique mood of terror and wonder, leading to an unexpected and apocalyptic ending.

My Second Favorite Tsukamoto Film!
Tsukamoto's style of filmmaking and the writing's of Rampo combine to make a tense and an ultimately outstanding thriller! I love all of Tsukamoto's films and Gemini is my second favorite film coming right after Tetsuo: The Iron Man. Like Tetsuo this film stands out from the directors many other works because it is a period piece and it's also an adaptation of the short story The Twins by Edogawa Rampo. I have always been a big fan of Rampo and when I found out this film was an adaptation of his work I was always on the look out for an affordable DVD copy. As I've said before I've been trying to get my hands on a copy of this film for some time now. I was extremely happy when I found out about this new blu ray release! The extras are much appreciated and the quality of the film itself is outstanding! This film is a must have for any fan of foreign cinema and anybody interested in getting started watching extreme cinema as well.
