About This Book
Director Jissouji Akio, the filmmaker behind Tokyo: The Last Megapolis and
several Ultraman films and TV shows, brings author Natsuhiko Kyoguku's popular
novel to the big screen in the excellent 2005 cinematic adaptation, Ubume No
Natsu, a fright-filled mystery set in 1950s Showa era Japan.
This exciting thriller centers on three brave friends from different walks of
life who find themselves caught up in a nearly unsolvable investigation. First
off, there's the nerdy, bespectacled, but indispensable Sekiguchi played by
Nagase Masatoshi from Pistol Opera, Mike Yokohama: A Forest With No Name, and
Suicide Circle. Then there's his friend Enozuki, a private eye with latent
psychic abilities, portrayed by actor Hiroshi Abe, who has appeared in such
films as Survive Style 5+ and Hana and Alice. Rounding out this odd trio of
protagonists is a bookstore owner/occultist/exorcist by the name of Kyogokudo
played by Shinichi Tsutsumi from Lorelei and One Missed Call.
The three heroes unite for an investigation that revolves around the ultra
bizarre case of a woman who has been pregnant for twenty months, her totally
AWOL husband, and quite possibly, a long-running family curse. Is this the case
of the supernatural that these investigators are dealing with or is it something
more realistic, yet somehow far worse? Wherever the truth lies, it seems that it
might just take all three of these guys to unravel this puzzling mystery. But
can they do it? The answers will be revealed in Ubume No Natsu, a compelling
mystery that features a climactic surprise that begs to be seen!
