Kwaidan

Kwaidan is a classic Japanese movie from the 1960's. It was directed by Kobayashi Masaki and features a series of ghost stories. The Japanese have always liked spooky tales. The cinematography in the film is mesmerizing. I read that much of the movie was filmed in an old airport hangar. Kobayashi made several other great films, including Samurai Rebellion, Harakiri and The Human Condition. Many of his movies deal with social injustice. I've always liked Kobayashi's work and think he deserves to be ranked alongside Ozu, Mizoguchi and Kurosawa.
