Aro Recommended Kwaidan

 

Japan 1964, 154 minutes
Dir. Masaki Kobayashi
In Japanese with English subtitles
Rating: [M]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Horror, Classics / Paranorma

 

Aroview: A four part anthology of visually intoxicating Japanese period ghost stories. Each tale expanding domestic melodramas into the paranormal realm.

The spectacular highpoint arrives in part three; the folk tale of the blind son of a priest who is called into the woods every night by a mysterious apparition. The colourful sets are the fastididious work of the director himself. Ultimately too beautiful to be considered a 'horror' film.
