THE SHADOW SPIRIT (NEW YORK ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL)
(2007, Japan, Masato Harada)
Starring Shinichi Tsutsumi, Hiroshi Abe, Kippei Shiina, Rena Tanaka, Hiroyuki Miyasako, Mitsuki Tanimura
One of the world’s great journeyman directors, Masato Harada is like the Howard Hawks of Japan, able to create beautifully crafted dramas in almost any genre. Set in 1952, THE SHADOW SPIRIT sees a brutal string of murders break out like a rash across post-war Tokyo. A truly all-star cast comes together to investigate the demonic cult murders in this lush, period horror piece that winds up morphing into an out-of-the-blue science fiction film. 133 minutes, in Japanese with English subtitles.
