A court fortune-teller loses his mind after a conspiracy leads to the death of his lover. Hope appears to be on the horizon after he becomes romantically involved with his dead lover’s twin sister, but more complications arise thanks to a chance encounter with a clan of shape-shifters.
The story itself is pretty basic and told in a very slow, deliberate way. The movie, however, is told in a very theatrical kind of way with whole scenes played out like a stage play.
This is was one hidden gem. I love Kabuki theatre and this movie is one of my favourite!! Okawa Hashizo was amazing in this!!
