BUNRAKU: THE CLASSICAL PUPPETS OF JAPAN (1973)

Jon W. — Tue, 21 Oct 2025 14:33:23 +0000

Filmed study of Bunraku, the classical Japanese puppet art, which uses three-quarters life-sized figures, handled by black-clothed manipulators who remain in plain view of the audience, convention rendering them invisible. These scenes trace Bunraku from the making of the puppets and the way in which their limbs are articulated, to their costuming and reflections on their relationship to kabuki theater. It includes complete performances of traditional Bunraku plays. Commentary by the well-known authority on dance and Asian arts, Faubion Bowers.

Director: Merrill Brockway.
Stars: Faubion Bowers (narrator).
