SAMURAI FICTION (DVD)
A film by Hiroyuki Nakano. Feudal lord Kanzen Inukai receives a precious sword from the Shogun; but it is stolen by the samurai Kazamatsuri; who was charged with protecting it. Kanzen's young son; Heishiro; insists on retrieving the sword himself to protect the family from the shame of losing such a precious gift. Heishiro's two friends; Shintaro and Tadasuke; accompany him in his quest; secretly competing for the fame that will go to the one who defeats Kazamatsuri. Meanwhile; a replicate of the sword is being made by Kanzen to keep the theft a secret. When Kazamatsuri wounds Heishiro and kills one of his friends; however; the young lord no longer cares about the sword; only revenge. He finds refuge in the small forest house of a rogue samurai and his daughter; where he recovers from the battle. The older swordsman tries to dissuade the youth from fighting; but is soon drawn into the conflict himself. A black and white samurai parody; intelligently done; using the works of Kurosawa as a jumping off point.
