Just in time to launch Spooky Season, The Brattle is thrilled to be able to finally screen the full three-hour cut of Masaki Kobayashi’s rapturously stylized quartet of ghost stories. Featuring colorfully surreal sets and luminous cinematography, these haunting tales of demonic comeuppance and spiritual trials, adapted from writer Lafcadio Hearn’s collections of Japanese folklore, are existentially frightening and meticulously crafted. – adapted from notes by Janus Films
