Nobody talks about this one. A folk tale gets remade by two artists operating on pure visual fever, Tanaami's psychedelic hallucination colliding with Aihara's fractured geometry, neither one polite about what they're doing to your brain. The samurai is tiny, the world is hostile, and the collaboration doesn't smooth itself into something digestible. It costs something to watch, and you come out changed.
Keiichi Tanaami and Nobuhiro Aihara worked together on this film, which offers a fresh take on a traditional Japanese folk tale. Its title points to the story of a tiny samurai, and the two collaborators retell that old legend in a new way rather than simply repeating the familiar version.
