Add to a movie listThe Knight of Shadows: Between Yin and Yang (神探蒲松龄之兰若仙踪, Shentan Pu Songling zhi lanruo xianzong) est une comédie fantastique chinoise réalisée par Yan Jia en 2019.
Il s'agit d'une adaptation d'une histoire des Contes étranges du studio du bavard de Pu Songling. L'auteur est d'ailleurs le personnage principal (interprété par Jackie Chan) et transformé pour l'occasion en puissant magicien chasseur de démons. D'autres films à succès ont également été tirés de ce recueil du XVIII siècle, parmi eux la trilogie Histoire de fantômes chinois et Painted Skin .

Synopsis
La barrière protégeant les humains du royaume des démons étant tombée, des hordes de démons affluent dans le monde humain. Le roi des démons envoie alors le légendaire chasseur de démons Pu Songling (Jackie Chan), un homme de haute culture, intellectuel, sophistiqué et rusé, pour retrouver chacun d’eux. Équipé du pinceau de calligraphie magique du roi, il est aidé dans sa mission par un groupe hétéroclite de gentils monstres. Il fait équipe avec l'officier de police Fei (Austin Lin ) pour résoudre une affaire de disparition en série d'adolescentes dans un village. Il apprend bientôt que les filles ont été enlevées par la belle démone Nie Xiaoqian (Zhong Chuxi ) et un autre démon rusé (Lin Peng ). Tandis que Songling mène son enquête, il rencontre un autre chasseur de démons, Chixia (Ethan Juan ), en pleine bataille avec deux démons. Songling défait le démon rusé et sauve Chixia avant de l'emmener dans son atelier. Il apprend que Xiaoqian était autrefois un homme tombé amoureux du démon Caichen, un serpent au bon cœur. Caichen a donné à Xiaoqian une orbe spirituelle en échange de son ombre, mais l'orbe la transformée en démon. Au lieu de piéger les âmes, Songling doit maintenant en sauver une.Actors
