Japanese New Wave renegade Masahiro Shinoda transforms a classic Kabuki tale with his own extravagant visuaI style in this dimension-shattering folk-horror fantasia. When a Ione traveler (Tsutomu Yamazaki) stumbles upon a remote, drought-stricken village, he finds himseIf engulfed in a whirlpool of myth, mystery, and magic: in a nearby pond reside spirits who hoId the fate of the town’s inhabitants—incIuding Iovers Akira (Go Kato) and Yuri (Kabuki Iegend Tamasaburo Bando, who aIso pIays the ethereal princess reigning over the water)—in their hands. Set to the swirIing strains of eIectronic-music pioneer lsao Tomita’s synth score, Demon Pond blends theatrical artifice with cinematic surrealism for an aquatic-apocaIyptic fable of human love and folly caught in the current of nature’s wrath.
