Shunji Iwai's 1994 film Undo, starring Tomoko Yamaguchi and Etsushi Toyokawa, is set to screen as a 4K remaster starting September 25 at TOHO Cinemas Hibiya and other venues, paired with a 4K remaster of PiCNiC (1996).
Undo, Shunji Iwai's 1994 film, is returning to theaters in a 4K remaster. The film stars Tomoko Yamaguchi and Etsushi Toyokawa. It will screen as a double feature with PiCNiC (1996), which also receives a 4K remaster. The screenings begin September 25 at TOHO Cinemas Hibiya and other venues.
Iwai commented on the remastering process, noting the difficulty posed by the original 16mm footage and the experimental push and pull processing used in the original production. The remaster follows the previously announced 4K release of Swallowtail Butterfly in September, placing Undo within a broader wave of Iwai's 1990s works being restored.
The film's title also surfaced in a separate context. Sakanaction's song "Kaiju," the theme for the TV anime "Chi: Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite," won Best Anime Song at Music Awards Japan 2026. The anime's title translates to "The Movement of the Earth," sharing the word "undo" with Iwai's film, though the two works are unrelated. The award ceremony took place June 13 at Toyota Arena Tokyo.
