Six years in the planning, Chinese auteur Chen Kaige's period fantasy Legend of the Demon Cat is an enchanting adaptation of Yumemakura Baku's epic novel series Samon Kukai Tou no Kuni nite Oni to Utagesu about a Japanese monk's supernatural encounters in Tang Dynasty China. Sometani Shota ( Parasyte ) takes on the role of the enigmatic monk, while Huang Xuan ( Youth ) plays a poet who wants to get to the bottom of the mystery involving a cat demon that is terrorizing the capital. The film's all-star cast also includes Abe Hiroshi, Sandrine Pinna, Kitty Zhang, Qin Hao, Crystal Zhang, Zhang Luyi, Liu Haoran and Oho Ou. A spectacular feast for the eyes, Legend of the Demon Cat mesmerizes with dazzling special effects and illusions that conjure the storied splendor, romance and suspense of the Tang Dynasty. Japanese monk Kukai (Sometani Shota) travels across the seas to Tang China's dazzling capital city of Chang'an. He is summoned to the palace to exorcise a demon that has been troubling the Emperor (Zhang Luyi), but by the time he arrives, it is already too late. In the Emperor's chamber, Kukai curiously discovers cat hair. Unsure of how to correctly document the Emperor's unusual passing, palace scribe and poet Bai Letian (Huang Xuan) teams up with Kukai to investigate various strange incidents orchestrated by a dangerous black cat demon. As Kukai and Bai run around town uncovering secrets, they gradually trace the mystery back to the tragic story of late concubine Yang Guifei (Sandrine Pinna), who is the muse of Bai's magnum opus.
