# Samurai Fiction (1998)

1998 · 111 min · Adventure · Japan

Original title: SF サムライ・フィクション

## Synopsis

Samurai Fiction  is a 1998 comedy-samurai film directed by Hiroyuki Nakano. It is almost entirely black-and-white, and follows a fairly standard plotline for a comedy and jidaigeki samurai film, but the presence of Tomoyasu Hotei's rock-and-roll soundtrack separates it from the films it was inspired by, such as the works of Akira Kurosawa. A loose spinoff was released in 2001, as Red Shadow.
