During a dark age of demons and ghosts,
the Heian Emperor relies upon the imperial
order of the Onmyoji to
protect the kingdom. However, as
the birth of the emperor's
heir approaches, political intrigue and jealousy
will lead to the most
dangerous of betrayals - from within the Onmyoji
and the Emperor's
family! It will be up to the most
talented of the order, Seimei (Mansai Nomura), to
face his master, Doson (Hiroyuki Sanada), and the dark
magic that threatens to destroy them all!
The mystical perils and dazzling splendor of 10th
century Japan vividly come to life in
Director Yojiro Takita's spellbinding adaptation of Onmyoji. Mansai
Nomura (from Akira Kurosawa's RAN and Japan's
most distinguished performer of Kyogen, a classical
theater art form) leads a star-studded line up,
co-starring Hiroyuki Sanada (from Ringu, Ringu 2, The Last Samurai, and winner
of four Japanese film awards), in an amazing
fantasy saga packed with a thrilling plot and beautifully
choreographed action.
