YesAsia Editorial Description

One of the most influential directors of Japanese cinema, Nagasaki Shunichi spun cinematic gold in 1982 with one room, two unknown actors, and a Super 8 camera. The raw, provocative Heart, beating in the dark presented one dark night in the lives of a desperate young couple on the run with a terrible secret - they murdered their own child. Twenty plus years later, Nagasaki revisits his experimental indie classic and in the process redefines the film language. A remake, sequel, and documentary all in one, the 2005 Heart, beating in the dark is best described as a rethinking of the original film. The contemplative, multi-layered tale of morality and fallibility, regret and redemption, witnesses the passage of time by bringing two generations of actors and characters together for an innovative film collage.

Muroi Shigeru and Naito Takashi, who have long become celebrities since the original film, reprise their roles as Ringo and Inako. Older and wiser, they meet up 23 years later to confront the shadows of their youth. A chance for redemption comes when they encounter their younger counterparts, Toru (Honda Shoichi) and Yuki (Eguchi Noriko), who share the same terrible secret they do. Like the original, the film includes role reversals, philosophical musings, and experimental elements. The new Heart, beating in the dark also acts as a commentary on itself, with footage of the directors and actors discussing their perspectives on the characters and the reasons for revisiting the film. Daring and controversial without resorting to shock elements, Nagasaki candidly addresses the ghosts within in this accomplished bittersweet tome to the wrinkles of life.

長崎俊一監督最新作! 海外で賞賛を浴びた傑作作品がDVDでリリース!! 1982年に公開された長崎監督による伝説の8mm映画「闇打つ心臓」が、23年前と同じく内藤剛志と室井滋の主演で35mm作品として復活。

リンゴォと伊奈子が再会する。リンゴォは、結婚して電気店を経営し、落ち着いた暮らしをおくっていた。
　そこに、２３年ぶりに伊奈子が訪ねてくるというのだ。同じ頃、自分の子供を殺して逃げている若い男と女がいた。透と有紀。二人は、逃げ込んだアパートの部屋で、息を潜め、罵りあい、抱擁し、蛇口から落ちる水滴の音と、どこからか聞こえてくる赤ん坊の泣き声に怯えていた。取り返しのつかないことがある。
　殺してしまった子供をめぐって男と女の擦れ違う思いと、埋められらない距離を抱えながら、二組の男女の夜が過ぎていく。狂おしい後悔とその痛み…。誰も、人生をリメイクすることなどできはしない。時間を逆に巻き戻すことなどできはしない。“また出会う”ことを除いては…。
