I've been writing something on Kitano's DOLLS, and have been trying
to think of other films which have used the actual puppets of the
bunraku theater, and not just the plays written for it by Chikamatsu.
Shinoda's DOUBLE SUICIDE is the only one that comes immediately to
mind. (And am I even recalling that correctly, or do the puppeteers
in that film handle only actual humans? I don't have a copy of the
film with me here to check.)
Can anyone here think of other films that do use actual bunraku
puppets right off the top your heads?
many thanks
Chuck
