Country: Japan
Directed by Kihachiro Kawamoto
I never get bored to watch again and again this Kihachiro Kawamoto's haunted masterpiece made with his usual technique of stop motion puppet animation. This 18 minutes film narrates a story of woman passion with powerful way, playing with the sounds, the music, the strange, artificial motion. and of course the combination of puppets and drawing. 'Dojoji temple' is very beautiful visually but is the whole combination of things that make it so interesting . Kawamoto narrates a rather scary folk story using heavily elements from the most original Japanese arts: Kabuki, No and Bunraku. After a slow and a bit confusing start the film gets weird, wild and poetical : in a few words fascinating
