bunraku in film

[Christine Marran]

Yes, I remember that film (Onnagoroshi...) too -- particularly the 
slow-mo depiction of the contents of a large cast-iron pot dumping oil 
onto the kitchen floor.  I highly recommend the bunraku version as well 
which has been showing in Osaka the past few weeks at the bunraku-za.  I 
don't have any further info on the film other than a faded memory 
unfortunately...
