With SAMURAI IN TIME playing at Japan Cuts here is a review I ran earlier this year when it played Fantaspoa.
I made a huge mistake with SAMURAI IN TIME and I let it slip away until now. This film played so many other festivals that Ijust couldn't bring myself to see it. I should have because this is a fantastic film.
The plot has a samurai battling one of his enemies and being struck by lightning. This trasports him until now, specifically on to a film set where thy are working on a samurai TV series. Of course this causes problems and of course he eventually ends up working in the movies as a samurai.
Don't worry, know that much will ruin nothing because there is so much here thanks to clever plot turns and some incredible characters. Trust me, this had me going from being certain I knew where this was going to having zero idea. And even if I did know where it was going I didn't much care because I was having such a great time.
This film is a stunner. You need to see this.
Highly recommended
