Američki film redatelja i scenarista Guya Moshea. Nekoliko je razloga zbog čega je ovaj film zanimljiv. Kao prvo, Moshe je za potrebe ovog filma uspio okupiti poprilično impresivnu glumačku ekipu s obzirom da nije riječ o hollywoodskom blockbusteru (budžet filma iznosi oko 25 milujuna $). Tako su tu Josh Hartnett, Woody Harrelson, Ron Perlman, Kevin McKidd i Demi Moore. Film je uglavnom snimljen ispred green screena, te u svojoj konačnici izgledom i stilom podjseća na Sin City i The Spirit, samo sa mnogo više šarenila, odnosno gotovo kričavih boja. Naslov filma, Bunraku, je baziran na 400 godina starom obliku Japanskog kazališta lutaka gdje se koriste lutke u prirodnoj veličini sa iznimno detaljnim licima. Mosheova ideja je bila snimiti film u maniri starih hollywoodskih mjuzikala, samo što umjesto glazbenih i plesnih scena tu imamo impresivne borilačke sekvence. Inače, film je u fazi produkcije još od 2008, a prošle je godine već bio prikazan na nekoliko filmskih festivala (npr.Toronto International Film Festival, Fantastic Fest, Tokyo International Film Festival, Dubai International Film Festival itd.). Američka premijera filma je zakazana za 30.rujna 2011., dok u Velikoj Britaniji izlazi direktno na na DVD-u i Blu Rayu 10. listopada 2011.

RADNJA

A mysterious drifter (Josh Hartnett) and an ardent young Japanese warrior Yoshi (Gackt) both arrive in a town that is terrorized by outrageous and virulent criminals. Each is obsessed with his separate mission, and guided by the wisdom of The Bartender (Woody Harrelson) at the Horseless Horseman Saloon, the two eventually join forces to bring down the corrupt and contemptuous reign of Nicola (Ron Perlman), the awesomely evil “woodcutter” and his lady Alexandra (Demi Moore), a femme fatale with a secret past. This classic tale is re-vitalized and re-imagined in an entirely fresh visual context, set in a unique world that mixes skewed reality with shadow-play fantasy, a place where even the landscape can betray you. Heroes triumph here only because the force of their will transforms and transcends both space and time. The world of BUNRAKU is past and present, fantasy and reality, Samurai and Western all combined. Like “Sin City” and “300”, it gives classic conflict a whole new graphically supercharged dynamic. Resonating through a wide range of cultures and showcasing a mind-blowing array of martial arts disciplines, BUNRAKU is a fresh arena for breath-taking fight action.
