New UK trailer for Till Kleinert’s The Samurai

Last Updated on July 22, 2021

Coming off of its successful festival run in 2014 is an all-new UK trailer for Till Kleinert's violent sword-swinging indie THE SAMURAI, which will see a DVD and On Demand release this April 13th in the UK. While we wait for word on a US release date, you can dig on the new trailer below, one that is plenty twisted.

The synopsis:

A samurai-wielding figure wearing a white dress lurks menacingly in the forest, waiting to descend upon an unsuspecting village in the muddy backwaters of rural East Germany. As heads roll with each stroke of his sword, dutiful, straight-laced cop Jakob becomes increasingly powerless to resist the draw of the Samurai’s feral otherness. The two enter into a bizarre folie à deux as Jakob is forced to confront his own carnal impulses that he has long sought to repress.

Written and directed by Till Kleinert, DER SAMURAI stars Michael Schumacher, Uwe Preuss, Pit Bukowski, and Ulrike Bliefert.
