A yakuza, fresh out of prison, becomes entangled with a beautiful yet enigmatic gambling addict, but what at first seems like a redemptive relationship ends up leading him further down the criminal path. Bewitchingly shot and edited and laced with a fever-dream-like score by Toru Takemitsu (Woman in the Dunes, Ran), this breakthrough gangster romance from Masahiro Shinoda (Samurai Spy, Double Suicide) announced an idiosyncratic major filmmaking talent.
Special Features: Video Interview with Director Masahiro Shinoda, Select Scene Audio Commentary by Peter Grilli, Original Theatrical Trailer, Essay by Chuck Stephens.
Spoken Languages: Japanese, English subtitles. |
