NAME OF FILM: TOP KNOT DETECTIVE
DIRECTOR(S): Aaron McCann & Dominic Pearce
GENRE: Documentary Film
SYNOPSIS: This is the story of how a failed Japanese samurai series, RONIN SUIRI TENTAI (Deductive Reasoning Ronin), became an instant Australian cult classic. Badly acted, translated and edited, the show centered around a detective samurai who solved crimes and killed monsters while avenging his master’s murder. This hilarious doc digs up the bizarre behind the scenes antics that it’s creator and co-stars got up to, and investigates how the main star ended up in jail 20 years later…or maybe not!
