747) SIX-STRING SAMURAI
(1998 dir. Lance Mungia) Date Seen: December 29 2021
A visually inspired brilliantly bonkers folly. I wish I had adequate words to describe the charm of this trippy little indie. It felt like watching Jim Jarmusch dig into A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS to try & uproot YOJIMBO’s samurai core but on the way out he got stuck halfway between both. I don’t know if the filmmakers were intentionally trying to dethrone STRAIGHT TO HELL (1987) for title of “Greatest Stoner Spaghetti Western of All Time”, but.. Mission Accomplished.
