    Where to Watch

Moody fantasy about a traveler who encounters a long-lost friend and evil spirits in a village. Tamasaburo Bando, Go Kato. Gakuen: Tsutomu Yamazaki. Nurse: Yatsuko Tanami. Carp: Hisashi Igawa.

Superb Japanese fantasy about the enchanted inhabitants of a pond and their queen (Bando). Paralleling their story is another in which Bando plays a wife who fears her husband has left her, and the Dragon Queen is seen sympathizing with her earthly double. Ethereally beautiful photography makes this one a must-see for fans of Japanese film.
