Unsuccessful amalgam of several disparate film themes/styles. Beautifully lit and shot. Over-the-top acting style which hurt. James Cain-like storyline done in a very primitive way. Ghost story with dead characters appearing in white face. Nudity...unusual for a Japanese film.
Although it won an award at Cannes in 1978 for its look this mishmash ached for a little subtlety.
