A tale of ambition, family, love, and war set in the midst of the Japanese Civil Wars of the sixteenth century.
This
Japanese classic by Kenji Mizuguchi is a carefully crafted and
photographed fable and morality play seamlessly mixing genres
(melodrama, samurai, ghost story), but always focused on its topic of
warning about the dangers of seeking wealth and fame for its sake.
Halliwell*: "Unique mixture of action, comedy and the supernatural, with strong, believable characters participating and a delightfully delicate touch in script and direction."
Maltin***1/2: "Eerie ghost story..."
