Tokijiro: Lone Yakuza New Limited Edition Blu-ray

Description: Weary of the rigid codes of the underworld, gambler Tokijiro (Kinnosuke Nakamura, Goyokin) wanders Japan in search of freedom. But escape proves to be impossible when an obligation to a gang boss leaves him with no choice but to kill a man. To atone for his crime, he vows to take care of his victim's widow and young son. But the gang won't rest until they've killed the entire family - including the man who stands in their way. With this breathtakingly stylised film, Tai Kato broke all the conventions of the yakuza genre, fusing blood-spurting action with melodrama worthy of Japanese cinema's greatest masters.Media Watch trailer »Bonus MaterialsHigh-Definition digital transferUncompressed mono PCM audioInterview with film critic Koushi Ueno about the film’s place in genre cinema historyA visual essay on star Kinnosuke Nakamura by Japanese cinema expert Robin GattoNew and improved English subtitle translationReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Time TomorrowLimited edition booklet featuring new writing by scholar Ivo Smits and a newly translated archival review
