A monster-piece? A masterpiece! Seijun Suzuki's aesthetics meet CGI, bringing the classic Japanese operetta Tanuki Goten back to life!

Young prince Amechiyo, hunted by his own father because of his beauty, falls in love with a racoon princess from China, guided by the hands of fate. A star-studded cast, including the leading couple Zhang Ziyi and Joe Odagiri, give a peculiar yet fascinating performance. Even in the song and dance scenes, the world-renowned Seijun Suzuki never loses sight of his surreal visual aesthetics, creating a psychedelic extravaganza. The art by Takeo Kimura, Suzuki’s close friend, and the screenplay by Yoshio Urasawa, the writer behind Toei Fushigi Comedy Series, only adds to the craziness. Enjoy the non-stop, one-of-a-kind, 111-minute ride!
