Updated with a version of the new trailer that actually works.

Barbet Schroeder's Inju is a film I've been tracking since first coming across it for a very simple reason: when a director of Schroeder's stature takes on material by notorious Japanese cult writer Edogawa Rampo the outcome has the potential to be pretty spectacular. An early teaser showed that Schroeder was certainly keeping all of Rampo's obsessions intact and an extended promo that I managed to catch in Cannes stood as further evidence that this could be something special. Well, the first proper trailer for this story of a French novelist swept into a web of intrigue, sex and death while on the trail of a jealous, reclusive writer in Japan has just arrived and while it is brief in running time it is positively loaded with impressive imagery.
