Review of Kwaidan (1965) by Danny D — 15 Jan 2011
A film containing four short films that are ghost stories from various points of the samurai era in japan. while all four stories were compelling, my perfect rating is mostly for the third story called "hoichi the earless man".
hoichi is easily the greatest ghost story I have ever seen on film, with wonderful acting, flawless cinematography, and a haunting storyline. it was a pleasant suprise to see takashi shimura appear as well.
the art direction and cinematography for all four stories was essentially perfect, and these four stories assemble to make one of the greatest films I have ever seen.
