[JAPAN] MOVIE REVIEW: DORORO
January 27, 2007 by KNDY
In a star studded film featuring Battle Royale’s Shibasaki Ko, Waterboys Tsumabuki Satoshi and choreographed by Ching Siu-Tung of “Sword of the Flying Daggers” fame comes a film based on a manga by Osamu Tekuza.
But how does the live film compare to the manga? What’s it about?
According to the Daily Yomiuri’s Andrez Bergen, “It goes like this: Hyakkimaru (Tsumabuki) is born without 48 body parts, because they were filched from him in a prenatal deal initialed by his samurai dad (Nakai) with those aforementioned demons.”
“The baby, which brings to mind Eraserhead, is lobbed into a casket and launched down a river, all Moses-like, then chances to be rescued by an alchemist who has the ability to fashion replacement parts–just so Hyakkimaru can head out, team up with the boisterous Dororo (Shibasaki), slay the demons, and retrieve his real bits and pieces.”
