Undo, Shunji Iwai's 1994 film starring Tomoko Yamaguchi and Etsushi Toyokawa, is circulating in a 4K remaster, with a double feature alongside Iwai's 1996 film PiCNiC that opened at TOHO Cinemas Hibiya on September 25. A stage greeting at TOHO Cinemas Shinjuku followed on September 26.
The 4K remaster of Undo opened in Japan on September 25, screening at TOHO Cinemas Hibiya and other venues. It plays as a double feature with Iwai's 1996 film PiCNiC, also newly remastered. Iwai said the remastering work was difficult because the film was shot on 16mm and used experimental push and pull processing. The two films are the earliest Iwai titles to get this treatment in the current run of restorations, arriving after the September 4K release of Swallowtail Butterfly.
A stage greeting for the remaster followed on September 26 at TOHO Cinemas Shinjuku, with Yamaguchi, Toyokawa, and Iwai appearing together 32 years after the film's release. Toyokawa said Kaori Momoi introduced him to Iwai. Yamaguchi recalled asking to meet Iwai after seeing Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom? Iwai said the three began talking at an izakaya in Sangenjaya, and he used the occasion to propose another small collaboration with both actors.
Coverage of the rerelease centers on the 1994 film and its reunion. It does not establish new production on Iwai's side or a wider theatrical run beyond the venues named.
