Big Time Gambling Boss - OOP Limited Edition Blu-ray Radiance Films #12 US A/B

Description: Big Time Gambling Boss - OOP Limited Edition - Radiance Films Blu-ray US Region A/B This was the very first Radiance Films US release and it is one of the rarest and most difficult Limited Editions to track down. It was limited to only 2,000 copies and is spine #12 (a lot of these early acquisitions were released out of order for whatever reasons). If you're collecting Radiance then you already know what you're looking at and what to expect, but for the uninitiated here are the differences between a Radiance Limited Edition and a standard edition: Limited Editions come in a thick full-height Scanavo case (think criterion) and obviously have full-height art sleeves. These sleeves feature reversible art unlike the "standard edition" which has ads for other Radiance products on the reverse side and comes in a cheaper eco-clear case. Limited Editions come with a removable obi strip which lists all the release details including special features and the print run. If you pull the strip out and store it under the sleeve you have nothing but unobstructed art on the front and back. You also get a nice andthick booklet with the Limited Edition sets.

Description: Originally released in 1968, the film was hailed by Paul Schrader as the richest and most complex film of its type, while novelist Yukio Mishima declared it a masterpiece. The film is set in Tokyo in the thirties, where gang boss Arakawa is ill and a successor must be named. The choicefalls on Nakai, but being an outsider he refuses and suggests senior clansman Matsudainstead. But Matsuda is in jail and the elders won't wait for his release, so they appointthe younger and more malleable Ishido to take the reins. Clan honor and loyalties areseverely tested when Matsuda is released, resulting in an increasingly violent internalstrife. An atmospheric tale of gangland intrigue written by Kazuo Kasahara (Battles Without Honor and Humanity) and starring Tomisaburo Wakayama (Lone Wolf andCub, The Bounty Hunter Trilogy), and genre legend Koji Tsuruta, Big Time GamblingBoss is one of the all-time classics of the Yakuza genre. Radiance Films is proud to present this crucial re-discovery for the firsttime ever on Blu-ray.
