Demon Pond (夜叉ヶ池), directed by Masahiro Shinoda (1979)

Kabuki camp! Yokai cosplay! Somehow this film struck a satisfying balance between riotous fun and lovelorn melancholy. I knew I was in for a wild ride when, in the beginning of the film, a village woman tries to cleanse the dust lodged in the traveler’s eye with breast milk squirted straight from her teat.

There were scenes that seemed directly culled from my dreams… the wall of water, the threatened village, the tinkle becoming glissandi in the Harp Playing Valley. It must be a primordial structure of the human psyche—that uncanny feeling you get looking at a body of water, when it appears somehow volitional, perhaps ominously so. It is dreaming. It is sentient. It is a prison… Who is held captive to these waters? A princess in love, ready to unleash her fury.

File under oneiric cinema.
