This week Arthouse Department of DKU Film Society will screen Six-String Samurai (1998), ’s cult post-apocalyptic rock-and-roll odyssey set in a surreal wasteland where music and swordplay collide. Wandering toward a mythic Las Vegas ruled by Elvis impersonators, a lone guitarist-samurai battles mutants, rival musicians, and the absurdities of a world rebuilt from pop-culture ruins.
A kinetic fusion of B-movie spectacle, comic-book stylization, and pulsing rockabilly rhythms, the film transforms desert landscapes into stages for anarchic performance and existential cool. Playful, offbeat, and visually electrifying, Six-String Samurai riffs on heroism, nostalgia, and the strange power of music to shape identity in even the bleakest futures. Give yourself a mid-week burst of energy and let this wild cult favorite shake you out of routine.
