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.
