About This Movie

So, this film, 父、ノブナガ, is quite a curious piece, blending comedy with a fantasy twist on historical events. It does have this quirky tone, almost whimsical at times, which makes it feel unique in the realm of period pieces. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it kind of works, creating these moments where the absurdity really shines through. There's an interesting play with practical effects that adds a certain charm rather than relying on heavy CGI. The performances are spirited, especially how the characters interact with historical themes, which is where it finds its grounding. It’s definitely a film that stands out, even if it doesn’t take itself too seriously.
