What Kuroneko Is About
A woman and her daughter in law, killed by soldiers, return as spirits who hunt samurai in a bamboo grove at night, and the man sent to deal with them turns out to be the family's son. Kaneto Shindo builds the horror out of movement rather than effects: the leaps were achieved on wires and still look strange and inhuman. The black and white and the use of empty space come from Japanese theatre. The idea underneath is not revenge but war itself.
