| Brief Description: | Veteran director Masahiro Shinoda based this magical Kabuki film on a popular Japanese stage play. "Buraikan" is an expert blend of art and history that follows the paths of six characters trying to make a living during the chaotic Tempou revolution. The intricate story lines are consistently funny, erotic, suspenseful, and absorbing. Nakadai Tatsuyo is eerily compelling as the handsome fortune teller. This dark, witty period drama is an absolute must for any film connoisseur. In Japanese with English subtitles. |
