Short description
During the Late Tang Dynasty, a manor is invaded by a demon cat and a sense of unrest befalls the capital of Changan. A poet is charged with investigating the case and meets up with a monk. The two work together and pull apart the thread of clues to reveal a history of truths leading to the events.
What's left behind the scenes
- The monk Kukai was a major religious and state figure of the Heian period, and the founder of the esoteric Shingon school.
- Bo Juyi was a great Chinese poet of the Tang dynasty.
- Building the sets took 5 years and cost $200 million. This amount was not included in the film's budget, as it was assumed that the constructed city would become a theme park.
- The Japanese version of the film is 132 minutes long and is titled "Kukai".
