‘The plot finds a real-life samurai, Kosaka (Makiya Yamaguchi), transported to a present day film set. He arrives on a working production of a samurai story and is bewildered by the modern world. After some adapting, he begins acting in the movies, slowly helping the dying genre find a new lease on life. —

From a technical perspective, A Samurai in Time is brilliantly crafted. Great care and attention has been made to ensure that this film looks as close as possible to genuine Jidaigeki movies of yesteryear. The score is vibrant and lively, and helps transport the viewer to Japan.  —

Sharing a surprising amount of DNA with Highlander, A Samurai in Time offers a new spin on an old story with honourable results.’
