Church of Film brings the fantastical '62 flick The Mad Fox to the screen this week. The dreamy, expressionist fable, inspired by an 18th-century bunraku (Japanese puppet theater) play, follows the aftermath of an astrologer's omen and the strange occurrences under an emperor's reign. (Expect white rainbows and a potential fox demon.) The film pulls from butoh, kabuki, and noh theater traditions, but pushes a stylish visual feel that evokes Kurosawa's Kagemusha.
