The Week I Review | Crazy Samurai Musashi is a gamechanger for single-take action | Movie Review @TheWeekIReview | Uploaded August 2020 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
See the movie at this year's digital incarnation of the Fantasia Film Festival: fantasiafestival.com/en/film/crazy-samurai-musashi
(Must be in Canada or have a functional VPN.)
Entry 99: When I first heard that there was a movie that had a 70+-minute single take fight scene, I knew I had to see it immediately. And while I have some criticisms of how the scene plays out, I was not disappointed. This review ended up rather more sprawling than I expected. But that's okay. I forgive it.
Other movies that I talk about that you can see even if you don't live in Canada or have a VPN:
Hiroshi Inagaki's Samurai trilogy is streaming on the Criterion Channel: criterionchannel.com/samurai-i-musashi-miyamoto
Re:Born is streaming on Shudder: shudder.com/movies/watch/reborn/5dfa3ee172f70bea
Death Trance can be seen for cheap on VOD: amazon.com/Death-Trance-English-Subtitled-Sakaguchi/dp/B004MXLTL0
(But if you're on YouTube even occasionally, how have you not signed up for a VPN yet?)
