YesAsia Editorial Description

Six years in the planning, Chinese auteur Chen Kaige's period fantasy Legend of the Demon Cat is an enchanting adaptation of Yumemakura Baku's epic novel series Samon Kukai Tou no Kuni nite Oni to Utagesu about a Japanese monk's supernatural encounters in Tang Dynasty China. Sometani Shota (Parasyte) takes on the role of the enigmatic monk, while Huang Xuan (Youth) plays a poet who wants to get to the bottom of the mystery involving a cat demon that is terrorizing the capital. The film's all-star cast also includes Abe Hiroshi, Sandrine Pinna, Kitty Zhang, Qin Hao, Crystal Zhang, Zhang Luyi, Liu Haoran and Oho Ou. A spectacular feast for the eyes, Legend of the Demon Cat mesmerizes with dazzling special effects and illusions that conjure the storied splendor, romance and suspense of the Tang Dynasty.

Japanese monk Kukai (Sometani Shota) travels across the seas to Tang China's dazzling capital city of Chang'an. He is summoned to the palace to exorcise a demon that has been troubling the Emperor (Zhang Luyi), but by the time he arrives, it is already too late. In the Emperor's chamber, Kukai curiously discovers cat hair. Unsure of how to correctly document the Emperor's unusual passing, palace scribe and poet Bai Letian (Huang Xuan) teams up with Kukai to investigate various strange incidents orchestrated by a dangerous black cat demon. As Kukai and Bai run around town uncovering secrets, they gradually trace the mystery back to the tragic story of late concubine Yang Guifei (Sandrine Pinna), who is the muse of Bai's magnum opus.

Farewell my demon cat Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
The sumptuously-mounted 'Legend of the Demon Cat' has a major problem at its heart.

Director Chen Kaige's overlong, overly complex, overly serious film essentially is a tale of all the men who are head over heels in love with Lady Yang Guifei (Sandrine Pinna), regarded as one of the four great beauties of ancient China. The problem (perhaps it is two problems) is that the half-French Pinna doesn't look particularly Chinese and her character is a blank slate. She looks out of place and one can't quite imagine why all these men are so impassioned by her, nor can the viewer be particularly moved by this cipher's fate.

(I wish Kitty Zhang had been cast in this role instead of the lesser role she was given. Ms. Zhang surely would have found a way to make Lady Yang more appealing.)

The film is loaded with CGI special effects, which are wildly inconsistent in their persuasiveness. The character which drives the film's action, the CGI-generated demon cat of the title, in particular seems at times almost cartoonish. Perhaps the film would have worked better if they had played it for laughs.
