Synopsis
"A horror picture with an extraordinary delicate and sensuous quality" —BOSLEY CROWTHER, THE NEW YORK TIMES.
A sensuous and arresting use of color, set design, and wide screen cinematography create four heart-pounding ghost stories from Masaki Kobayashi (Harikari, Samurai Rebellion), one of Japans most stylized filmmakers. Each lyrical vignette is intensely composed in the style of an ancient scroll painting, but its the tone emanating from the editing, eerie soundscape, and the characters mythical nature that make Kwaidan a truly haunting experience. Winner of the International Jury Prize at Cannes in 1965, the film has since become a cult classic on home video. If there were ever instructions assigned to watching at home, Kwaidans would read "best when viewed alone, late at night, in the dark".
