Heart, Beating in the Dark (Japanese: 闇打つ心臓, Hepburn: Yamiutsu shinzo) is a 2005 film directed by Japanese director Shunichi Nagasaki, partly a remake and partly a sequel to his 1982 film of the same name.
Plot
The film has three threads running through it, and also includes footage from the 1982 original throughout:
- One is the story of a couple who are on the run after killing their baby. This is a largely a remake of the original 1982 film.
- Another thread shows the present-day couple from the original film as they meet again many years after the original events.
- The third thread is supposedly documentary footage of the making of the remake, showing in particular the feelings of the original actors about the characters they played in 1982.
