Dark Samurai

Sidney Lexy Plaut, Denmark, 2014

73 min.DK/Feature

The film can be described as a visual poem, loosely based on the legend of Japanese ronin and warrior philosopher, Miyamoto Musashi. This very visual and abstract interpretation of the fate of Musashi is brought into a mixture of a contemporary Yakuza underworld and a mystic Samurai after-life. As we flow seamlessly between life, death and rebirth, we experience a hypnotic exploration of Musashi's existence and the fatal consequences of the choices he has taken in his life.
