BUNRAKU: TORONTO FILM SCENE PARTY REPORT

Day three, and the fatigue is already setting in. Lunch was nonexistent, and dinner was some of the best hors d’oeuvres I’ve had in a long time, at the BUNRAKU party. One of the major fringe benefits of being engaged to the Midnight Madness programmer is that he’s the sort of classy gent who talks me up to his guests, makes me sound charming and delightful, and… Continue

BUNRAKU: JOBLO REVIEW

Remember the name Guy Moshe, as I have a feeling we're going to be hearing a lot from him once people get a load of BUNRAKU.

BUNRAKU is very much graphic novel come to life, but the style could not be more different than those films.

Rather than comics, BUNRAKU…
