Thanks to Steven at the Golden Fish, I have just discovered a film called Winter Days, an animated version based on a renga (in 36 stanzas), the hokku of which was written by Basho (as well as 6 other stanzas), each section filmed by a different director.
I'm not sure why the links aren't working at that ste, but here's a link to the first part from Youtube. Hopefully the rest will be discovered there.
Some other links of interest:
Wikipedia, where you view the entire poem in translation.
An interview with the director of the first stanza, the hokku, in which he goes into some detail.
