(not an image related to the Onmyoji film series but is an album titled Onmyoji done by Brian Eno when he is not writing music for the Wall Street films lolz)
This has to be one of my favorite Japanese films. A good part of that is because of nostalgia, being that this was one of the first couple of non-kaiiju Japanese films I saw (along with Versus and Kunoichi Lady Ninja). Plus, it helped introduce me to the more mythological Japan, which was awesome and is maybe why I like the culture today. Staring in it is Henry Sanada - who those who don't watch too much Nippon Eiga should know from THE LAST SAMURAI and RUSH HOUR 3 by now and Mansai Nomura - who is not only Shakesperian-experianced but did RAN with Kurosawa.
Has anyone seen this film? Just got the DVD (special edition with booklet and everything) and will soon be watching it for the first time in over 5 years (ShowTime stoped showing it coincidently right when I moved from Tennessee to Georgia).
Before we go into discussion, let me preface this with the kick ass Onmyoji theme. It relaxes me so such as a certain song produced for a chanbara-period eiga by Tetsuya Komuro. Except this theme has a fuller orchestration.
