Kwaidan

“Kwaidan. This movie I pick because I'm about to embark on a new chapter of my career. I'm going to direct the movie, an adaptation of Pedro Páramo which is this very famous Mexican novel. My daughter Maria recommended this film because it's an anthology of I think it's four or five ghost stories. It's very tactile, you see the artificiality of it and I think this movie for me is a reminder that anything goes in cinema.”

“Kwaidan. This is a Japanese folk-horror omnibus, and it’s very beautiful, deeply beautiful film. It’s long, but, you know, it’s in four segments, so you could break it up over a couple of nights.”

“[Translated], here it is. My favorite, Masaki Kobayashi's Kwaidan. Another ghost story. I saw this as a child and it was very scary. It's an omnibus film with sets, a very artistic film.”
