Noh is a classical Japanese dance-drama. INU-OH is a film about a real life master Noh dancer from the 14th century. In this film, real people and fictional histories converge with traditional Japanese Noh and modern music, in which Noh music played on a biwa sounds like a Queen song. What is even more surprising is that such an attempt is made via an animation. The film shows a bold attempt by Yuasa Masaaki, one of the representative Japanese animation directors alongside Shinkai Makoto and Hosoda Mamoru. In the 14th century, there was a man named Inu-oh (King Dog), who was born with deformity and always wore a mask. Talented in singing and dancing, Inu-oh meets a young biwa player named Tomona, and they begin to perform together. Their performances become popular, but no one knows about their past. The film tells the hidden stories about Inu-oh and Tomona. (NAM Dong-chul)
