Bunraku review

This movie is pretty hard to describe to those who haven't experienced it. Bunraku the word itself means Japanese puppet theatre and that is what this films many set pieces will remind you of. It is a very entertaining film with an almost non-existent story (or a very simple one). I was very impressed with the use of colour, shadow and lighting in this movie and the constant action scenes were done tastefully and fit in well. It also holds some resemblance to films like "sin city" and "kung-fu hustle" but for me was more reminiscent of the anime "afro samurai". For those of you wishing to see this film, please do as it is something that (I have) never seen or done before and is not overly gory for an action flick. I summary I'd say it contains drama, love and a lot of action. Pure entertainment.
