Into a Dream (夢の中へ, Yume no Naka e) is a 2005 Japanese black comedy drama film written and directed by Sion Sono.
The movie focuses on the misadventures of low-profile theater troupe actor Mutsugoro Suzuki who begins a surreal journey back to his hometown, marked by his quest to find the person responsible for infecting him with a sexually transmitted disease.
Thus, the movie ends with Suzuki abruptly leaving his family reunion and running down the evening road screaming and singing "Into a Dream."
The film has been presented as "A tender addition to Sono’s body of work (and a) moving look at fulfillment and fears in contemporary Japan.
"[1] A retrospective review explains that "If Suicide Club announced a transition to a new filmmaking cycle for Sono, one where the director’s work became more genre-oriented and commercially viable, then it’s hard not to read Into a Dream as a self-lacerating consideration of that decision.
