The construction of the set of Chang'an city – a ... 2017 – The Legend of the Demon Cat. Maria Barbieri. FEFF:2018. Film Director: Chen KAIGE. Year: 2017.
One of the ‘fifth generation’ of Chinese directors, whose first film, 1984’s Yellow Earth, brought Chinese cinema to the attention of the entire world, Chen Kaige’s career has alternated moments of vast creativity with uninspired periods and flops. In his most recent film, The Legend of the Demon Cat, the director finds once again his characteristic narrative skill and voice. The film, a costume thriller, is an adaptation of Shamon Kukai Tou no Kuni nite Oni to Utagesu (lit. ‘Monk Kukai’s Feast of the Ghosts of the Tang Dynasty’), a long four-volume novel by Japanese author Yumemakura Baku. It tells the story of the investigation conducted by a Japanese monk and a Chinese poet into the curse carried by a black cat that sows destruction and death at the Tang imperial court. The characters are based on real historical figures: the monk Kukai was the founder of the Shingonshu Buddhist sect and Bai Juyi is one of the greatest Chinese poets. Kukai, who is also an exorcist, arrives from Japan in Chang’an, the capital of the Tang empire, to study the tantric codes, but is summoned to the imperial court to treat the emperor Dezong, who is in the grip of delirium and dies soon afterwards. Bai Letian is an imperial scribe who would like to devote himself to poetry and is secretly working on a poem about the eternal love of the former emperor Xuanzong for the imperial concubine Yang Guifei, who has become a symbol of beauty and sensuality in China. Kukai immediately realises that a c...
