YesAsia Editorial Description

The star of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Memoirs of a Geisha goes to Japan for this touching, wildly entertaining tale of forbidden love! Famed 1960s cult film director Suzuki Seijun (Tokyo Drifter and Pistol Opera) teams up with gorgeous international superstar Zhang Ziyi for Tanuki Goten, a colorful, musically diverse, song and dance filled love story that's like nothing audiences have ever seen before or will likely see again!

Released internationally as Princess Raccoon, the film centers on the lovely and talented Zhang Ziyi who plays Tanuki-hime, a raccoon spirit princess who suddenly falls in love with Amechiyo (Bright Future's Odagiri Jo), a handsome prince who finds himself exiled from his vainglorious father's kingdom. Will the two lovers stay together or will fate tear them apart?

With its kaleidoscope of top of the line special effects, surreal painted backdrops, and self-consciously theatrical soundstages, Tanuki Goten is a psychedelic, hallucinatory, and ultimately joyous cinematic experience, making it a true spectacle in every sense of the word! After undergoing extensive training, lead actress Zhang Ziyi dances, speaks in Japanese, and even sings a few tunes in Mandarin to complete the zany, "anything goes" mentality of both the film and director Suzuki himself. With performance styles ranging from operetta and kabuki to rap and reggae, Tanuki Goten is a delirious, fantasia-like tale of forbidden romance that emphasizes the importance of following one's heart!

Truly Delightful and Enchanting Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Last Sunday I was very fortunate to see acclaimed Japanese director Seijun Suzuki’s truly delightful and enchanting musical film operetta at a special BAFTA/Japanese Embassy Premiere in London. Its immense charm and attraction was the various mixture of diverse artistic, colourful and visual presentation styles and content, ranging from real locations, theatrical, operatic to scenic art backdrops. Combining these settings with tap dancing, ballet, folk songs, hip-hop, rock and roll, merging Eastern and Western classic and modern music styles, all beautifully rolled into one. All of these elements were executed with such panache, flair and elegance, by the cast and director, who all seemed to be having such fun! The mythical age-old story is really about love triumphing over adversity, and good over evil, but with a modern edge. This fairy-tale was so enjoyable because of the many messages (some quite subtle) contained and conveyed within the storyline. Popular Japanese heartthrob Joe Odagiri performs well as Prince Ameychiyo and Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi is appealing as Tanuki-hime, proving once again how chameleon like she is, able to adapt to any role she takes on, with an amazing maturity well beyond her years. The varied music soundtrack fitted well and the songs are catchy. Long live the Raccoons, (I might just have become one?)!
