Conceptual artist Joan Fontcuberta once said “photography is a tool to negotiate our idea of reality.” He and other artists like him have made it their life’s work to challenge the accuracy of their medium and toy with the viewer’s impression. Someone such as Kai (Hideki Nagai), however, prefers veracity over falsity. The rigid character in Takeshi Kushida’s Woman of the Photographs (Shashin no on’na) has spent his career helping clients not only deceive others but also themselves. It is only when Kai meets an unusual woman does his own perception begin to change.
Woman of the Photographs is a movie its director self-described as “romance horror.” That description might immediately bring up memories of something like Audition, but Kushida’s first feature hasn’t a sinister bone in its entire body. Nevertheless, it is equally perplexing and layered, and sometimes the imagery can be alarming.

A film about self-image and the desire to be liked which borrows classic cinematic imagery left right and centre in a desperate attempt to win such favour for itself, Takeshi Kushida’s Woman Of The Photographs has many admirable qualities but is difficult to like. For all its elegance, there's a neediness and an inherent dishonesty about it which continually distract from the development of its central ideas.
Hideki Nagai plays Kai, a photographer who, like most in the business today, makes art on the side whilst making his living taking and/or photoshopping sappy portraits of customers keen to meet conventional beauty standards. Privately, he holds these customers in contempt, apparently unaware of the context in which their photographs are being used - that is, of their need to compete in a world where everybody's else's pictures have been edited too. Life is simpler for him. He has inherited his business,...

Sometimes the best fever dreams are the ones that leave you hanging in disbelief, dangling off a precipice as one hand tries to clamber to something firm and familiar. They have the tendency to tease and tease until they explode with kaleidoscopic intensity. Occasionally they spell everything out to you with barely a moment of hesitation and become completely enveloped in their symbolism; their crazed detachment from reality, however, becomes too inviting to be phased by this. Enter the strange microcosm of Takeshi Kushida’s “Woman of the Photographs”, as a mild-mannered voyage of self-projection, self-image, and self-worth becomes unsettlingly unhinged to the point of no return.
