Princess Raccoon

Chinese superstar Zhang Ziyi (Memoirs Of A Geisha) stars in the latest film from master film maker Seijun Suzuki; a magical musical adaptation of a well known Japanese folktale. Ziyi stars as Tanuki-hime, a raccoon spirit princess who falls in love with Amechiyo (Jo Odagiri), a human prince banished from his father's kingdom. With numbers ranging in style from Kabuki to operetta to rock 'n' roll, and designs to set the imagination on fire, Suzuki's dream project is one of the year's most vibrant entertainments. An extravaganza of sight, sound, music and romance that will amaze the senses and delight the heart.

  Whimsical
  
  Pretty good, but I can't give it five stars as it went on a little too long at the end. The performances were great though.
