uhhhh....yeah

Kwaidan was interesting - a bit slow at times, as one might expect from a classic film totaling over 3 hours in length, but I loved the aesthetic of it - the Edo (or even pre-Edo) period settings and costumes, with vibrant colors and detailed sets - it's beautiful to look at. Each of the four stories, while unique in their own right, deal with spirits in one form or another. I liked the first two the most as I'm pretty partial to tales of female ghosts, but the latter two still have plenty to offer and give a more robust picture of Japanese lore. Probably the best moment is the Psycho-type reveal at the end of the first tale, predictable as it may be (you can see the ending to the second tale coming from even further away). The main character quickly aging to his death after horrifically discovering he's far too late to return to his ex-wife is a nice touch, and was perhaps meant to convey that the regret would haunt him till death.
