Fujifilm Bloody Spear at Mount Fuji (Blu-ray) (Import)

Praised by Japanese film critics and much admired by his contemporaries Akira Kurosawa and Yasujirô Ozu, Tomu Uchida nonetheless remains a little-known in the west. His 1955 masterpiece Bloody Spear at Mount Fuji is an excellent entry point for the newcomer.Set during the Edo period, Bloody Spear at Mount Fuji is a tragicomic road movie of sorts, following a samurai, his two servants including spear-carrier Genpachi (Chiezô Kataoka) and the various people they meet on their journey, including a policeman in pursuit of a thief, a young child and a woman who is to be sold into prostitution.Winner of a prestigious Blue Ribbon Award for supporting actor and Kurosawa regular Daisuke Katô, Bloody Spear at Mount Fuji is a film deserving of much wider international recognition.SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTSHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentationOriginal uncompressed mono audioOptional newly translated English subtitlesBrand-new audio commentary by Japanese cinema expert Jasper Sharp, recorded exclusively for this releaseReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Corey Brickley
