Legend of the Demon Cat

Legend of the Demon Cat weaves a paranormal story about a killer talking cat in the present with a decades old story line about a murdered empress. It was intriguing, clever and original. The computer generated graphics weren't all convincing, but the sets and the composition of many shots were absolutely beautiful!

Spectacular in visual, Yang lady is so beautiful and so out of box. I love it. Saw it once, barely understand. Saw it twice, every pieces comes together which is making a big picture. Highly recommend!!!

A sumptuously filmed and directed, often sublime, fantasy/mystery retelling centered on the creation of bai juyi's classic 809 CE romance poem, "the song of everlasting regret" (???) and, behind that the tragedy surrounding the death of consort yang guifei (albeit a heavily redacted and simplified version of history).

Starts out as a fairly typical wuxia flick but quickly becomes a mystery worthy of Sherlock Holmes. Surprisingly moving, emotionally. Beautifully filmed and the period sets are a joy to behold. Both the story and visuals remained with me well after I left the theatre. The titular cat could have benefitted from more advanced CGI (Weta, where were you?) but I've come to accept the budget restraints imposed on Chinese films and wasn't overly bothered. Flick is definitely worth a look and I'll be keeping an eye out for the blu ray!

Nice pictures of the film
