“Demon Pond is a haunting fantasy drama set in a remote village where a mysterious bell-ringing ritual is believed to prevent a dragon goddess from unleashing a devastating flood. When a traveling schoolteacher becomes involved with the villagers, the boundary between myth and reality begins to blur. Adapted from a play by Izumi Kyōka, the film blends folklore, theatrical stylization, and lush cinematography into a dreamlike experience. Featuring a mesmerizing performance by renowned onnagata actor Tamasaburō Bandō, the film stands as a unique fusion of cinema and traditional Japanese theater.” - Shun Inoue
