Country: Japan
Directed by Tetsuji Takechi
For sure a film with so many weak points that nowadays seems almost ridiculous and overall can be characterized as a 'bad' film, 'Daydream' still is memorable not only because is the first 'pink' Japanese film with big budget and mainstream release or not only because it influenced the entire genre and the modern Japanese cinema in general.
What makes the film to be listed here is its innovative sadistic erotism, its theatrical weirdness, its attractive black and white photography and direction , its poetical power that make at least some of its images and scenes difficult to be forgotten. Takechi makes a commercial exploitation film using often so much artistry on it that at the end you get the feeling that you watched something that was exactly the opposite: not mainstream and commercial at all, not exploitative at all
