Description: Further DetailsTitle: Kiju Yoshida: Love + Anarchism (3-Disc Special Edition)Condition: NewDescription: The work of Kijû Yoshida is one of Japanese cinema's obscure pleasures. A contemporary of Nagisa Ôshima (Death by Hanging, In the Realm of the Senses) and Masahiro Shinoda (Pale Flower, Assassination), Yoshida started out as an assistant to Keisuke Kinoshita before making his directorial debut at age 27. In the decades that followed he produced more than 20 features and documentaries, yet each and every one has proven difficult to see in the English-speaking world. This collection brings together three works from the late 60s and early 70s, a loose trilogy united by their radical politics and an even more radical shooting style. Eros + Massacre, presented here in both it's 164-minute theatrical version and the full-length 215-minute director's cut, tells the parallel stories of early 20th-century anarchist (and free love advocate) Sakae Osugi and a pair of student activists. Their stories interact and intertwine, resulting in a complex, rewarding work that is arguably Yoshida's masterpiece. Heroic Purgatory pushes the dazzling cinematic language of Eros + Massacre even further, presenting a bleak but dreamlike investigation into the political discourses taking place in early 70s Japan. Coup d'état returns to the past for a biopic of Ikki Kita, the right-wing extremist who sought to overthrow the government in 1936. Yoshida considered the film to be the culmination of his work, promptly retiring from feature filmmaking following it's completion.Format: Blu-rayDirector: Kiju YoshidaActor: Mariko Okada, Kaizo Kamoda, Rentaro MikuniGenre: DramaNo Of Discs: 3Run Time: 10 hours and 7 minutesRelease Date: 07/06/2021Studio: Arrow VideoLanguage: JapaneseSubtitle Language: EnglishEAN: 0760137634881Country/Region of Manufacture: USARegion Code: Blu-ray: A (Americas, Southeast Asia...)Release Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
