Film Movement will be premiering the Japanese action-drama Bushido exclusively in theaters on March 13, 2026. The film is directed by Kazuya Shiraishi and stars Masachika Ichimura, Kaya Kiyohara, Kyôko Koizumi, Jun Kunimura, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, Taishi Nakagawa, Eita Okuno, Takuma Otoo, and Takumi Saitô. The acclaimed director goes full samurai in Bushido, an epic yet elegiac jidaigeki (his first) that’s both a call to the sword and the hankie. Inspired by a classic rakugo yarn, this isn’t your daddy’s average chambara flick.
GVN has been provided with an exclusive clip from the new film ahead of its debut, which you can find below:
Synopsis: Taciturn Kakunoshin, renowned for his formidable skills both with a sword and in the game of go, embodies the purest ideals of the samurai code. But when his unwavering honesty is exploited, he is framed by his own clan for a theft he did not commit. Disgraced and forced to become a ronin, he survives as a humble seal maker, quietly supporting his grown daughter while burying the wounds of betrayal. Years later, when a case of missing gold pulls him into a new web of intrigue, Kakunoshin finally uncovers the truth behind his long-buried downfall. With the real culprit exposed, the restraint that once defined him shatters. The go board flips, and a hellstorm of righteous vengeance follows.
Dillon is most comfortable sitting around in a theatre all day watching both big budget and independent movies.
