SUMMARY:Mononoke the Movie: The Phantom in the Rain (2024)
DTSTAMP:20260906T113136Z
DTSTART:20260321T180000Z
DESCRIPTION:More than fifteen years since the Mononoke series (2007) and fo
	llowing a highly\nsuccessful Kickstarter campaign\, director Kenji Nakamur
	a returns with not one\,\nnot two\, but three feature-length anime about a
	 nameless travelling ‘Medicine\nSeller’ in the Edo period\, who always app
	ears just when a supernatural\, vengeful\nmononoke\, feeding off human gru
	dges\, needs to be exorcised.\n\nIn an even more exuberant style\, with ev
	ery room lavishly decorated with\neverything from traditional ukio-e woodb
	lock prints to modern abstractions and\,\nonce the fighting starts\, an ex
	traordinary excess of shapes\, movement and\nexpression – all drawn agains
	t the fibrous background of traditional Japanese\nwashi paper. The Mononok
	e trilogy undoubtedly belongs on the list of ‘most\noverstimulating animat
	ed features ever’.\n\nIt’s surrealist\, bordering on psychedelic\, and som
	e reviewers remarked that at\nhome\, you’d probably be reaching for the pa
	use button to examine all this visual\noverload. Well\, yes – but what cou
	ld be better than letting go of this need for\ncontrol and undergoing thes
	e fantastical explosions of images and sounds\ntogether in the cinema?\n\n
	Meanwhile\, in this first episode\, you will also witness the tender bloss
	oming of\na hidden love between the young women Asa (serious\, methodical)
	 and Kame\n(playful\, chaotic) within the Ōoku (harem) of Edo Castle\, ami
	dst all the court\nintrigue. A story about what happens when you sacrifice
	 too much of yourself for\nthe collective – and how the grudge will want i
	ts revenge.\n\nMelkweg often hosts different types of programmes at the sa
	me time\, such as\nconcerts\, club nights and films. Please note that ther
	e may occasionally be some\nnoise pollution from other programmes during t
	he screening.
