DER SAMURAI ist ein Indie-Filmprojekt:

JAKOB, a young policeman from a remote village in the middle of nowhere, finds his small world unhinged and shattered as one night an ominous, nameless stranger in a woman’s dress emerges from the forest and commences a wave of destruction, descending on the unsuspecting town like a supernova of irrational violence.

Both appalled and drawn by the frightening young man and his self-proclaimed mission to liberate people (incidentally and disconcertingly by cutting off their heads with a Katana, a Samurai’s sword), Jakob propels himself for a roller coaster of reflection and revolt as he relentlessly pursues the SAMURAI through the night. There is something about the mysterious offender that strikes a hidden chord within him – threatening to unlock and reveal his own innermost demons…

DER SAMURAI tells a thrilling tale of fear, seduction, loss of control and liberation – a cautionary tale, if you will, about the precarious relationship between the conscious and the unacknowledged and about the consequences that ensue if you don’t confront your inner monsters. The androgynous Samurai acts as a threateningly wild and untamed alter ego to Jakob’s compulsively ‘straight’, dutiful self, confronting the young policeman with all the raw, irrational, antisocial and sexual urges that lie repressed and buried within him. It is the intense, almost romantic struggle for prevalence between those two seemingly antipodal characters that fuels DER SAMURAI’s fiercely beating heart.

As the film peaks to it’s zenith, when blood erupts in orgasmic geysers, heads tumble over asphalt and the village square is set ablaze by an all-consuming fire, the audience will find themselves shocked and exhilarated in equal measure by the small-scale apocalypse the Samurai has set forth in front and behind both Jakob’s and our own eyes.

Das Problem ist derzeit noch die Finanzierung, vielleicht habt ihr ja Lust euch an dem Projekt zu beteiligen :-]
