Region: AB

After serving time in prison for murdering his unfaithful wife, Yamashita (Koji Yakusho) 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.

Winner of the Palme d'Or at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival, THE EEL is a masterwork from Shohei Imamura - one of Japanese cinema's greatest directors, featuring a career-best performance from Koji Yakusho (PERFECT DAYS, CURE).
