Kabuki style. Like the snowstorm scene in "Snow Maiden" and the beautiful scene where the Snow Maiden turns into a virtuous woman in the village, it is an expressionist style that combines the characteristics of traditional Japanese painting Ukiyo-e, which is very Japanese nationality and film expressiveness. The eyes appearing in the snow dome of "Snow Girl" resemble the scene in Doctor Edward's hypnotic dream in "Doctor Edward". The spatial treatment of Japanese ancient houses in "Black Hair" plays a very prominent role in creating atmosphere, expressing expressions, and shaping characters.
"Kaidan" uses a lot of Noh music, and Noh music and the whole movie of "Kaidan" undoubtedly have a theme fit. As a horror film, "Kaidan" has few terrifying and bloody pictures and strong dramatic conflicts. The steady and calm narration makes the film show a wonderful balance, which is a mysterious, profound and ethereal beauty that appeals to sensory experience.
