Cast: Koji Yakusho and Misa Shimizu

After serving time in prison for murdering his unfaithful wife, Yamashita (Koji Yakusho, CURE, THE WOODSMAN AND THE RAIN) is released on parole, accompanied only by his pet eel. Hoping to stay out of trouble, he takes over a rural barber shop that quickly becomes a gathering point for the eccentric locals.
However, the discovery of a woman’s failed suicide starts a chain reaction that brings back past demons - and not just his own. THE EEL won master filmmaker Shohei Imamura his second Palme d’Or, after 1983’s The Ballad of Narayama and was the breakthrough of its star Koji Yakusho, who himself won the Cannes Best Actor Award forty years later with PERFECT DAYS.
