I am on a quest to find American distribution of the Japanese film, Yasha-ga-ike (1979) Demon Pond, by Director, Masahiro Shinoda.
Summary: It is an extraordinary and beautiful cinematic experience. It was artistically, emotionally, and imaginatively powerful. I was drawn into the film, like the main character is drawn into the magical realm of the "Lady of the Lake." It is a transcendent adventure story and romance, that evokes the relationship between humans and the natural world, and everyday life and the life of the imagination. I was transformed by the magic of the film.
I rate it as one of my favorite films of all time, along with Cocteau's Orphee.
I saw the film in the 1980's,in the Toyo Theater (a Japanese Theater) in Seattle. The Toyo Theater no longer exists. I have looked a number of times, but I can't find the film anywhere. I know that it played in Seattle again at an Art Museum in the 1990's, but I wasn't able to see it then.
I would also like to show Yasha-ga-ike to students, and perhaps combine it with Ugitsu, or Orphee.
I would love to see the film again. Does anyone know where or how to find it in America?
