Cast
Production
In 2017, it was announced that Yo Oizumi and Shinichi Tsutsumi had been cast in a live-action film adaptation of Kakine Ryosuke‘s novel Muromachi Bakufu, which had been published the year prior. However, filming was delayed first by the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan and then by director Yu Irie‘s schedule.[1] The film was largely shot at various locations within Shiga Prefecture including the Banshū Kiyomizu-dera Buddhist temple,[2] though some scenes were filmed at Toei Studios Kyoto at the end of November 2023 on a set which took a month and a half to construct.[1]
Release
The film was released by Toei nationwide in Japan on 17 January 2025,[1] though it was released in IMAX a week before on 10 January, becoming the first live-action film produced by Toei to be shown in IMAX.[3] It screened at the New York Asian Film Festival on 22 July.[4]
Reception
The film received positive reviews from critics at Movie Walker Press.[5] James Hadfield of The Japan Times rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and opined that while it “never quite settles on a consistent tone”, it is “easier to follow” than 11 Rebels and is “one of [Irei’s] better efforts to date”, with Oizumi being in “commanding form.”[6] Peter Glagowski of Flixist considered it a “fairly run-of-the-mill” action film which, like 11 Rebels, fails at “honing in on any specific style.”[4]
