Synopsis

The summer begins, and a Tokyo dance festival starts, so Akiko and Mayu –wife and daughter of dancer Kamimura– are headed in that direction. There is a third woman who comes back from New York, Yozuku. The family life of these artists swings gently between butoh dance and the ever-present, peaceful landscape, but the plot suddenly opens up towards sex through explicit and intense encounters, as if director Iwana Masaki recovered the way Nagisa Oshima melted the bodies together in In the realm of the Senses. Strange and hypnotic, always unpredictably fascinating, A Summer Family is a liberating film free from any genre marks, which demands to be seen without prejudice and with the same flexibility shown by its characters. We should write down and remember the name Iwana Masaki.
