Rating: 5/5
THE defining Jidaigeki ghost film. It has many imitators, also great, but this one set the blueprint
Such beautiful lighting and cinematography — the boat in the fog sets down such a sense of unease; the vision of his wife receiving the kimono he worked so hard to buy for her; the slipping further into idyllic, surreal images; the moment when his wife is sewing just before dawn — every scene has something special
Killer soundtrack, too. Really uncomfortable stuff
Hard to overhype this one. It’s pretty special
