Idiots on Film: Bunraku

Join the Idiots as they discuss the strange, stylistic action movie named after puppet theater, Bunraku.

Released in 2010, starring Josh Hartnett, Woody Harrelson, Demi Moore, Gackt, and the legendary Ron Perlman, this hyper stylistic action film has largely been forgotten. It's strange, and humorous at times, featuring aesthetics pulled heavily from Japanese puppet theater, or Bunraku. It's a story of vengeance, romance, betrayal, and just wanting to serve the drinks.

Is it worth the watch? Listen to find out. (Spoiler: yes, it is.)
