About Legend of the Demon Cat
During the Late Tang Dynasty, a manor is invaded by a demon cat and a sense of unrest befalls the capital of Changan. A poet is charged with investigating the case and meets up with a monk. The two work together and pull apart the thread of clues to reveal a history of truths leading to the events.
Directed by Chen Kaige, Legend of the Demon Cat leans on a strong ensemble — Huang Xuan, Shota Sometani, Hiroshi Abe — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about fantasy titles of 2017.
