Review of Bunraku (2010) by Mike N — 20 Jul 2012
Though debuting in 2010 at the Toronto International Film Festival, Bunraku didnâ(TM)t see even a theatrical release until a year later, and itâ(TM)s not hard to see why. It bends and blends genres to such a degree that Tarantino would be perplexed, plays like a centuries old Japanese revenge story, as told through a spaghetti Western as remade in a sci-fi dystopian film shot in India.
The film is the kind of surreal, wild thrill ride that goes on to become a cult hit, and Iâ(TM)ve never hoped such a fate for any film more than Bunraku. Undoubtedly one of the yearâ(TM)s most unique entries.
