Punk Samurai Slash Down 2018

With some psychedelic and occult imagery harking back to the folk and/or cosmic horrors of Egger's previous work. Usually not a fan of thee medieval aesthetics, but this was exception material. Also props given to the Zulawski/Kurosawa esque blocking, giving us some tasty choreographed camera/actors movements to keep us entranced to the screen.
