Gemini (1999)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
An ex-army doctor, Yukio, has resumed practice in Tokyo and lives with his parents and new bride, Rin. The parents are pompously stately and dictate the rules in the house through their passive yet insistent tone. They also disapprove of Rin who suffers from amnesia ever since she was in a fire. Yukio’s struggles in balancing his affection for Rin while maintaining respectability in front of his parents isn’t his only problem. Dealing with death and the disabled everyday has ignited a crisis of compassion and ethics within him. But things are about to get weirder as a man who resembles Yukio, but with scars on his legs, has begun stalking the house.

Based on an Edogawa Ranpo story, this is recommended mostly for Ranpo and Tsukamoto fans.

It’s interesting to see a film where a family who adhere to traditional Japanese culture, with influences of Shinto and Buddhist practices, coexist within a bizarre story of amnesia, sibling rivalry and obsessive love. Ryo as “Rin” was fascinating to watch. I liked this film very much. 4 stars.

Knew a kid called Gemini. He never walked the same again.

Using color was a wise move for Shinya Tsukamoto. The blue hues were effective. It’s been a long time since I watched Tetsue when it came out, but I remember it lacking in color spectrum. Made me want to revisit the series, or maybe one of ST’s other films I haven’t seen yet. Rin is strikingly beautiful!
