An Easy Watch
I usually shy away from watching anything that has been shot before the 90’s but I’m glad I gave this one a shot as it turns out it was a pretty easy watch. The premise is fairly simple and the themes portrayed still uphold to present day, the movie has good tension (although the horror aspect of it may be kind of lost in time) and it is overall well shot. The only issue i have with this movie is it’s ending. It’s too abrupt and you completely drop out of the movie left without a chance to let it sink in.

A Surreal and Supernatural Love Story
In 1895, in a small village in Japan, the wife of the litter carrier Gisaburo (Takahiro Tamura), Seki (Kazuko Yoshiyuki), has an affair with a man twenty-six years younger, Toyiji (Tatsuya Fuji). Toyiji becomes jealous of Gisaburo and plots with Seki to kill him. They strangle Gisaburo and dump his body inside a well in the woods, and Seki tells the locals that Gisaburo moved to Tokyo to work. Three years later, the locals gossip about the fate of Gisaburo, and Seki is haunted by his ghost. The situation becomes unbearable to Seki and Toyiji when a police authority comes to the village to investigate the disappearance of Gisaburo.

“Ai no Borei” is a surreal and supernatural love story. The remorse and the guilty complex of Seki make her see the ghost of her murdered husband, spoiling the perfect plot of her lover. The cinematography is jeopardized by the quality of the VHS released in Brazil, but there are very beautiful scenes, inclusive “Ringu” and the American remake “The Ring” use the view of the well from inside in the same angle. The performances and direction are excellent making “Ai no Borei” a great movie. My vote is eight.
