Mumon: The Land of Stealth
Raised suckling poison arrows among the many sparring Iga ninja factions, Mumon (Satoshi Ohno, of idol group Arashi) is a carefree 16th-century mercenary. When the ninja council makes an influence play to defeat the younger Nobukatsu Oda struggling to step into his father’s warlord footwear as they develop rule throughout the nation, Mumon jumps into the fray to fulfill his new bride Okuni’s (Satomi Ishihara of Shin Godzilla, Assault on Titan) demand that he make good on his guarantees of wealth. But Mumon quickly finds what’s price preventing for past cash or nation. A longtime JAPAN CUTS favourite identified for his offbeat dramas, Yoshihiro Nakamura (Fish Story, Golden Slumber) takes on the jidaigeki epic along with his signature sense of play that includes a jazzy soundtrack and fantastical ninja methods. -JAPAN CUTS: Pageant of New Japanese Movie
