Looks interesting, but it is certainly more of a modern story than a fable. It does look like something I would enjoy more than most anime, I am going to give it a chance and have added it to my queue. Thanks of the recommend.
One film I watched recently that could almost be classed with these ghost fables is called
Empire of Passion. I am hesitant to group it in with these movies though, although it uses conventions of the genre, it has a somewhat different agenda. Like the others it is nicely filmed and has a historical setting and has a haunting, however it is really concerned with sexual obsession and sexual politics. As such, it is more sexually explicit than these other films, which isn't too surprising being the movie that followed In the Realm of the Senses from the same director. Although unlike that film, the sex in Empire of Passion is simulated and not real.
