Wrong Revision introduces a curious account of devil’s entrance into Japan with St. Francis Xavier in 1549, and how the devil transformed himself into the form of an octopus to eventually oppress the Japanese Christians in the 17th century. Initially, the film neither had a script nor storyboards, and most of the footage was shot in an observational documentary-esque manner. It was during the post-production stage when Araki decided to loosely revise and wrongly adapt the short story The Devil and Tobacco (1916) by Ryunosuke Akutagawa in an attempt to develop a make-believe narrative about the food culture of unknown origin.
