Plot: A raging god of battle and a master samurai duke it out in a series of sword fights in a remote temple.
None yet...Got one?
Plenty of fun but by no means Kitamura's masterpiece. They had a great idea, there are no faults in the acting and who doesn't love a nice claustrophobic samurai movie? The problem is, such confined sets need to be compensated for with substance, and there are not enough layers to 'Aragami' which just makes it feel a little suffocating. You feel there ought to have been more twists of originality along the way, but it's nonetheless terrifically directed by the God of Japanese cinema AND a fucking kickass ending is to be expected by any Sakaguchi fan. Good, but really nothing on 'Versus'...
8/10 It was a dark and stormy night....
<grin>
Short film..but is more of a good thing then a bad. Director(Kitamura) has a bad habbit in all of his films of building...building some more...build after that...LETS GO CRAZY..nope just kidding..keep building..Till you want them to throw off the gloves and go bat **** allready. Its forgiveabe cause he does such great films otherwise. Great chars .great sets, etc. Pluss their not so heavy handed in this one as a lot of films like it I see.. You can be gloomy and still be edgy.Thing I really liked was the persona of the main villian(?) in the story. Hes WAY wasnt all uber evil... just relaxed, even silly in a way, wanting to get the most out of his guest/victim as he could. The sceene with the hero choising his wepon was priceless.
All and all a good film</grin>
One half of 'The Duel Project'.
This film had to be shot in seven days. Using three cast members, one set and have the one premise, a fight to the death!! I enjoyed it, but then i like these kinda films anyway. The sword fights were good also! Which is always a plus with me. Though i'd expect no less from director Ryuhei Kitamura. This guy loves his swords!
Oh and a great little cameo from Tak Sakaguchi which i was well chuffed with!!
No really interest in this third movie. No new ideas, no surprise, I didn't found the Kitamura magic of Versus....
Another wasted opportunity from Kitamura for actually making a great film. It has some moments, but just not enough.
