Atsuro Watabe, Fumiyo Kohinata, Hanae Kan
Directed by Yojiro Takita (Departures). In 17th-century Japan, a former demon hunter falls for a mysterious young woman with magical powers.
Great adaptation of a Kabuki play set in a nice little fantasy world. Some people don't get the Kabuki stuff, but I think this is a good introduction to it.
The action scenes are rather manga-styled (in fact I suppose you could extend that to the entire film) and I found them visually interesting. The ending made me cry.
The CG and plot was weak, but I was entertained enough. The comedy and acting ain't bad either. I'd recommend this movie if you're bored and want something fun to watch to kill time.
No, not very good :) It's amazing what crap they put out there for suckers like me to rent...
No recent reviews.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Ashura-jô no hitomi" !
