4 Japanese rarities, somewhere between film noir and pinku eiga, by the director of Gonin
AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON BLU-RAY
Takashi Ishii made his name in the art of gekiga (manga aimed at adults, similar to graphic novels) before adapting his own works for the big screen, notably the famous "Angel Guts" series. Set in a seedy and captivating Japan, the four films presented in this 4-Blu-ray™ Collection feature his iconic character, the heroine Nami, grappling with the toxic masculinity that pervades society, acting as a powerful catalyst for exploring the violence and complexity of human relationships. Blending yakuza film, pinku eiga, and thriller elements, Original Sin , A Night in Nude , Alone in the Night , and Angel Guts: Red Flash are presented for the first time in their new 2K restoration!
