Inu-oh is one of the worst productions I've watched this year and I expected way too much from him. He brought fantasy, music labels, and some beautiful stills, which made me look forward to it.

The story seems to be related to the history of the Heike family in Japan? It begins with an urban legend that two officials (I think so) came to the sea and begged the fishermen to take them on a treasure hunt, apparently to find a sword, which unsheathed supernatural powers and the boy lost his sight , his father died. The blind boy then grows up and becomes a musician, during which he befriends the ugly monster inu-oh and helps him transform into a human form while performing with inu-oh.

However, this nearly two-hour movie, apart from its exquisite ukiyo-e style, is really lackluster. It's not a complete, tight story, and if you pay attention to the plot, you'll be as confused as I am: because his plot is weak, and there are many nonsensical passages that I didn't understand. For example, there is no explanation from the beginning to the end why inu-oh's abnormal body will return to its original state after the performance, and the relationship between the man with the evil mask and inu-oh at the end of the movie (maybe I didn't watch it carefully, but this movie It's too ugly) The most unbearable thing is the music bridge in the movie, all the singing is very ugly, very tormented, but the length is very long.

This is a movie with its audience, many people think it is very good, it seems to have won an award at the Venice Film Festival. However, if you don't know the film and its director very well, it's hard to have fun with this film.
