  Weird film. It starts as a mythical story. (The opening titles is a scroll painting that explains the myth) A third of the way through it reveals itself as a Japanese noh play. The rest of film is a mixture of melodrama and noh performance, with some animation and nifty special ...( read more)effects. Uchida uses a lot of long takes to complement the highly theatrical acting and dialogue. Normally I don't like this kind of acting but here it works even though this leads to some campy moments. Most of the film was shot on sets, with the noh parts in highly colorful and stylized , transforming sets similar to that of The Archers' films. I liked how the film basically drops the first story arc and goes completely in a another direction in the second half, in a similar way as Vertigo.
